On the edge, the living earth
dared to mimic Queen Fathima's worth,
The Queen of Heaven's grace and poise,
Her footsteps, a blessed path of choice.
This way bedewed with divine light,
A numinous destination of sight,
Graced by thousands of prophets of God,
the hallowed, mirror-polished sod -
The ultimate path that all should tread,
Closing endless pi's transcended thread,
Leading to perfection's true embrace,
The loving cosmos' eternal glue, circling grace.

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious,
the Most High, the One and only One, she descended,
On the Night of Ascension, her path transcended.
From the Night of Measures, she came,
Her frame, heaven's dark matter, a mystery untamed.
A divine dot in terra incognita,
A fondly-folded bud where time doth bloom.
If one can see up to where it rose,
Paradise sways towards this uncharted way
The only guide, oft is a glimpse of Queen Fathima's eye!

The only asymmetrical golden ratio,
Steps forth amidst the symmetrical prophet flock.
The earth makes way for her in awe,
In sequence she moves with the golden lock.
Cloaked in mystery, she reveals
Her unique, divine relation to the divine.
Makes measured moves at the forefront,
Shining the light ever drawing closure to God.

She is so pretty and classy, the paragon of art,
The sunrise amidst the eternal night.
Her beauty is a burning fire in her shadow,
She is 'Zahra,' pure light, a luminary dynamo.
The only woman in heaven and earth with no shadow!

The great flock of women mirrors the earth,
Following each atom on that angled girth,
Aligned perfectly under the waxing full moon's worth.
Lo, they approach the behemoth's might,
Atoms beneath their skin explode in their finest sway,
And beneath Fathima's feet, vibrations take flight.

'Nature' is a feminine she—a gradual revelation indeed,
of the ultimate paragon—Paradise, never to cease.
Here’n hereafter, eyes on the masterstroke:
Queen Fathima at the peak!

The ocean billows up, floating with the clouds,
like choreographed dewdrops, low on the rose—
ready to shower that blessed spot with honey-drops.

Even the Moon on the horizon follows suit—
ah, the lunar punter rows, sipping the dew like fruit.
Sleeping beauty awakes in the moonlit night,
silver dancing in her eyes, stars burning bright.

The Moon sails down from its celestial height;
The seven seas hum in the cosmos' dark,
Exuberant fireflies pulsing with a starlit spark—
An ultimate sublunary craft,
Gently steering on heaven's path.
Tiny tricksters rock the moonlit boat,
Swaying soft toward that sweet drop afloat.

Poetry in motion, the sea on the ground—
beauty reflected in the Moon’s soft crown.
Storylines leap and dance all around,
painting the winds in colours unbound.
Over the grove, the rhythm rolls on,
raining from heaven on that sweet spot—
singing the sweetest of all title songs.

Never was there a woman—a prophet of God—
but for the primitive woman, the leading lady,
the sharpest cut, above the rest—
she leads the pack, outshines the test.
Sayeedatun Nessa, Queen Fathima.
No secrets Heaven holds—only an open mirror.

The secret is: Fathima touched the bottom of the Earth first,
raising the foundation—building man’s first house to last.
In her elements—pure, motherly, universal,
and uniquely one—lived an otherworldly love.
Womankind scores that only by entering paradise.

“There is no night, only déjà vu moonlight.
The pious homemakers, these veiled tuberoses,
were hidden gems to the sublunary fireflies—
soon to become open moons in heaven’s secret skies.”

The Huris—seventy or more in a mesmerizing array—
draped in splendor, formed of light, timeless in display.
But still, their gaze is drawn in awe, not envy or ploy,
to the one real McCoy:
the small Earth’s women in paradise.

The universe debuts a primitive water dew.
Fathima drops in it her duo of hairs—
lovingly raises a tearful Earth into her velvet lock—
the perfect circle, at the ever-evolving Earth's core,
the only otherworldly matter, there's no more!

All things that ever float on the ocean of creation vanish soon,
but this Earth—the cosmos’ deep mind—is still a bloomer,
lodged on a tangent of the Queen’s otherworldly lock.
It’s her perfectly knotted perfect circle—its science.
She moved the needle at the beauty spot—
enduring art in its subtlest form.
Imparted nature the limitless cutting edge,
so it learns her hardcoded limit—locked in golden ratio knot.
But the breakthrough isn't a far cry with Fathima’s pi;
her infinite sweet escape is tucked away!

Fathima keeps nature in the loop—
a stroke of Allah SWT’s divine AI,
its neurons in deep learning, pre-designed with sacred data,
outpouring through the Output Layer: predictions, futures—
each returning to the past,
to a moment before moments,
when there was only one:
a purposeful, intelligent design.

Boom! Absolutely pure—the Big Bang follows.

Lo! The elementary, pristine water interacts
with Fathima's otherworldly deep black lock.
Now, innate dark energy ignites the bud in bloom.
Nature cracks the first light—grabs the paintbrush.

The rose smiles on Earth, the sun on sky—
building ever more,
treasuring the lucky lock in Earth’s core.

Chorus of the First Dawn
(sung by the nightingales and birds of the first universe)

Before time ticked, before stars sang—
there was water, still and unseen.
Not chaos, but calm. Not void, but waiting.
The origin was not random.
It was her.

Fathima—Allah SWT’s masterstroke,
the paragon form of nature itself.
She did not follow creation.
She caused it.

With a drop of her otherworldly chiaroscuro,
dark energy stirred,
and the universe—
burst into being.

The Queen’s first impression hooks on—
the motionless Earth, in dew, makes the first move.
A polished golden spiral blooms, expanding ever more.
The last thing the sun can’t do: look away.
After the Big Bang—big fireworks—still: Ratqan, a black mole,
thicker than the black moon, gravitates the cosmos!

Walking in the dark ahead of the sun and moonlight,
one step up that shadowed path the Queen cemented on,
perfectly—circle pi-locks—the Earth takes a Ma pause.
Until, God willing, Fathima’s locks finally bottom in,
the long haul of time squeezing out paradise upside—for good.
The heavenly Queen shines the light at the secret end of God.

The planetary ebb and flow move toward heaven—
planet Earth, the only steppingstone.
No matter how many times they try,
there will always be an unturned stone—
until the one, the original woman,
Queen Fathima, steps on.

Dots connect in her presence.
The nadir and the zenith perfectly intersect—
once and for all, mingling in her perfect circle,
without a single gap in the whole.
A pure Scientia scenario:
As above, so below.

Where the Queen stands,
heaven will open its grand door.
No more reverse engineering the original—
God willing, Fathima will step
on the last turned stone.

From the one, the greatest woman,
paradise begins—
from beneath the mother’s foot.
Serdar Jan 12
The Day Defined
Just after waking —
Before gazing at a phone, or a catastrophe.
If the town crier doesn’t wake us,
A ruler surely holds sway,
But doesn’t roam street by street
With a trumpet-gun in hand.

—I know nothing at all.

If blood won’t burst into my palms,
A child comes before the heart.
With signals torn by dreams of resistance,
Sails rip apart
Just after oblivion.
It echoes,
Burns,
And collapses most —
That relentless state of mine,
In the shade of a tranquil conscience.

A capsule of civilization
On a sleepless night,
With wordless tomes under a social moonlight.
My numb body —
Yet I force my restless soul
To take in its tension.
And there,
Azrael, the purest of tales,
Proclaims existence
From eternity to infinity,

“While stories unspoken are more than the dead.”

Why, then,
Do these ashes of dissolution
Carry endlessly on?

Oh Ali!
Since even lions exist in this creation,
Paradise…

Delicate and passive —
Seeping into our marrow.
From strands of hair to the depths of spirit,
A fitting, gentle beneficence.

In the necessity of existence,
Among huris scented with gunpowder —
Ah!
To those who invented the pen of gender bias,
Caught between free will and the ego.

Sometimes goodness.
Sometimes only…

In the sociology of judgment,
Just one station shy of hell,
Perhaps more difficult still.

And with love in the tongue,
Fear most the garden of paradise.

The emotional megastructure of procreation —
If we give life to a soul
In any corner of this universe,
We must look back at what we’ve left,
Weep,
Gasp,
And mourn.

A word of sorrow,
And the state of annexing it —
An endless collapse of lamentation.

Dreams matter.
Their characters remain unknown —
Unfathomable by reason,
Unaided by fear.

Even now,
As life slips away,
Dreams sharpen every idea.
Eyes are not for seeing.
They touch.
They ruin.

Melbourne wears lilac today.

Before the sun rises,
I clench and open my numb left hand,
Donning my shroud —
Remembering you
As I walk toward your presence.

Those who dream nightmares
Cherish their beloved the most.
I had a nightmare, too.

Humanity in its needy state.
Factory flaws,
Seeking truth —
They were executed to the tune of triumph songs.

The inventor of the wheel,
While testing it,
Heard the trumpet of slaughter.

Patriotism?
Shattered —
Flesh, bone, marrow,
All devoured.

And in worship of power,
Equality
Became chained.

Resistance faltered.
Ideals strayed.
And those who sowed rebellion
Watered the soil with blood.

(Excuse me —
That’s the sound of a horn.
I’m in traffic.)

Socialism, humanism, carnivory,
And the oil of olives.
I duel with my soul,
Between joy and sorrow.

Idealism —
Or a father’s simplicity?
A dentist,
Pulling a tooth of symbolism
From the earth’s jaws.

Don’t look like that!
My tobacco smells different.
And my cells —
Not wrapped in silicon.
I know.
Grief is not fate.
Even if society were robotic,
Why would we need Rumi?
We’d just have version 08.
Then version 09.

Obligation, responsibility,
An infinity of variation — mathematically sound.
If harmony is supernatural,
And even nothingness depends on a single 1,
Then —
Even without autumn,
There are always
Three dots…

— The End —
