Poetry

I loved you in silence,
while you never knew how much you meant to me.

You were the person I wanted closest to my heart,
yet somehow, you became the one I had to keep at a distance.

I never asked you to love me back—
I only wished you could understand
how much of my heart belonged to you.

Maybe I was just a chapter in your life,
but you were the whole story I never got to finish.

And the saddest part is…
I still wish you happiness,
even though that happiness may never include me.

Yes, this is the reality,
I have accepted you in my full senses, with all my heart and soul.

Listening gives more peace than saying "I love you."
Because anyone can show their love by speaking a few words.
But there are very few people who hold your existence together when you are weak.
You have flaws, you have weaknesses.
In this universe, very few people are ready to connect with you while knowing your incompleteness.
So whenever you find such a person who, along with loving you, accepts you and does not hesitate to connect with you even after knowing all your flaws and mistakes, then hold that angelic person as a mother secures her child within her being.

Because not every person who loves, accepts everything.
Only some special ones exist who not only love but also have faith in acceptance.

My love..!!
Don't compromise on your principles.
I mean, don't separate me from yourself.
Because I want to bless you with the happiness of my soul from dreams into reality.

O my soul..!!
Will you always remain available to me like this in my imagination...

Written by myself,
Taabi 🥀

On the shelf, in my tiny room,
Would you see a small, sealed bottle,
Clothed with dust, whispering of age,
A pathway is it—
To the place of soulless people,
For once, I bargained with DEATH,
To exchange my soul with the
Lonely haven.
Torture I felt, by the
Harsh light of the moon,
The ground stinks, and is hurtful,
Looking as if it detests me,
Invisible am I to my own folks,
But now—
I seem to understand life,
Somewhat, it is merely a book,
Authored by God,
So I think, what if—
I haven't just reached the chapter
That encloses my happiness?

Another day is ending, bleak and dreary.
The road home feels rough and cold.
This loneliness is making me sad and weary.
Nothing turned out the way I was told,
and made to believe.
The soul yearns, for love and relief.

Surrounded by people who do not even care;
“Just a matter of time, you will get there”.
A painful wait I can no longer bear.
Is there a wife for me, anywhere?

Don't be sad about time perfidy, many a times dogs have danced over lions' corpses.
their dancing doesnt make them better than their masters, lions will stay lions and dogs will stay dogs.

POEM VII - Dolce far niente

_Beside the shore, I look for any signs
I sift my hands through the sand
The seaweed clings onto my shoulders
Wait, aspettare, wait.

My father laughs as he gathers the fishes
Looking at my disdained expression
Divertiti dolce far niente, he says with a
Gleam in his eye.

Is this delayed satisfaction? But I can feel it
I look at all the dazzling seashells,
Inspecting them one by one,
No letters and no numbers.

My mother says when she met my father
There was a red sun, and the gulls were crying
But where is my sign? Maybe I should enjoy
Dolce far niente._

The woman is like a flower.

Hold it too tightly and it dies.
But if you water it daily and let it be, its beauty begins to flourish and its fragrance begins to flow. 🌹

You were the reason I learned to love the hours when the world slept…
I would carry your name into the silence, and there, before God, love became something greater than wanting you…
It became surrender…
Strange was our fate. I took your name to God, while you took mine to poetry;
I wonder which of us knew first that the other had become a prayer..

Allah wants you to win. What is written for you shall find you, even if the whole world loses its way..
Manifestation is merely the soul glimpsing what destiny has already concealed behind the veil.
Let the heavens delay you, let the earth deny you. What is yours has already been commanded to arrive..
Have husn al-zann billāh; for what appears to you as a closed door may be nothing more than Allah teaching your heart the language of a greater opening…

Sometimes, we can love someone deeply, yet still realize that they may not be the right person to walk beside us through the rest of our lives. 🤍
