    A Few Words

    Byyoussuf.maha May 8, 2017

    A few words can change the world A few words can change hate into love A few words can change enmity into friendship A few words can change darkness like the night into Noor Like the glittering of the sun Those few words are the words uttered by the tongues of noble men out of…

    Hypocrite Inside

    Byyoussuf.maha May 8, 2017

    There’s a hypocrite inside of me But I don’t want it to be me I know it’s somewhere there Lurking in the corners where No human eyes can see I want to suppress thee But you want to accompany me Trying to befriend me There’s a hypocrite inside of me If you win over me…

    Do You Remember?

    Byyoussuf.maha May 8, 2017August 21, 2025

    A Walk In Solitude

    Byyoussuf.maha May 8, 2017

    My walk in life is in solitude, Drawing no inspiration, my mind is bleak.   The crowds in banter and more; As I seek to recognize a familiar voice within.   Changing colors of human expressions; Alas, pale is what my vision paints. Unaffected remains my glance; As I try to capture a spark of…

    The Road Less Traveled

    Byyoussuf.maha May 8, 2017August 24, 2025

    Seeking genuine love, I set off following a Beam of Light. That one Hovering Afar, Behind a shield plunked in the sight; Yet not seeking to hide. The Road is kind of dim, but the vision is clear, The beam of light, is also apparent. I come close, then retreat, Then again closer, To find…

    Break The Deadlock

    Byyoussuf.maha May 8, 2017August 25, 2025

    The heart yearns for love, So does your lacking soul. High in the sky above, Mute.. There’s a persisting call! Your surrounds are lightfull But bleak is your vision. You look left, you look right, seeming dull, Helplessly you linger.. your own minion! You silent your eager will, Not knowingly supress your hopes, they no…

    One-Sided Conversation- Poetry

    Byyoussuf.maha May 8, 2017

    A one-sided conversation I sustain and bring anew Cloaked in ignorance A monologue is a regular offering as a due Why then the complain of no serenity? Why not a brief but clear understanding of His Magnanimity? Five minutes of recollection But a minute for reflection “I’m trying”, is the objection But off-set focus is…

    To The Oppressed!

    Byyoussuf.maha May 8, 2017August 21, 2025

      While I plea for compassion For my mothers, children and wives I kneel to God And they kneel on my bare back My house is burned down And charred bodies lay on the ground But I cannot try Nor can I cry They wield their weapons And brandish their knives While I plea for…

    I whisper my prayers to Thee and look around Worshippers graceful, excelling in duties abound I glance at my stance and lo, what do I behold?
