A torrid noon

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Fri, 29 May 2009 15:53:31 GMT

One friday in sultry, torrid Noon
parting away mosque after prayer
mingle into thick boisterous rabble
coarse hustle shove me on trot

Raucous treading on quagmire
hovering around billows of dust
vague glimpses of cap-heads pop out
in sluggish scuff on poor trails

Intrinsic pleasing smell of scented oils
suffuse prickly rank air scarcely sedative
dark low raunchy huts scatter densely
quaintly veiled females peek through window

shaggy looking scraggy kids
coarsely spun filthy tattered rags
peaky face frown in limp stand
longing shady nay haul up scorching noon
tedious quaver cadge voices
bumping ears constantly

Honks by long limousine
dispersed rowdy mob to rampage
broke me to moan in rankle
anguish by quaff like thirst
nay stiffling lousy stuffy atmosphere
cram me queasy and giddy to swoon

shelve to squat on parch sterile surface
sigh with gasps at length
roll gimlet eye over craggy beggars
stuff with puny,disabled,blind
fumbling flounce mob miserably
enduring savages in scalding noon
just for a penny to quench their ravenous
wide huge people but
scowl faces turning in despair
drop me to muse into
intricately impalpable irony of life
still intriguing mystery to me - RICH & POOR

a crispy evening

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 15:09:58 GMT

strolling deep into repose pleasing evening wearing dark sheet of night, with many mickle of stars glinting over brace my eyes and keep soothing my soul with far incredible imaginations. shrieking of insects, euphonie murmurings of birds, sharp rustle resounding into quietude of nature conjure me into fancies. a pure wave of bliss drown me with its bewitching quiescent. shallow stream flirting with its silent and babbling. sometime howling and sometime being sneaky. and sitting around pond with feet under water to muse over ' so much ' still a quietude and peaceful refreshing state to soul.

What was the biggest adventure of your past year?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:48:31 GMT

I felt inner peace, satisfied, happiest and became very relaxed when my only elder sister finally got married in the first week of this past November as it was challenging for me because I belong to poorest family. I prayed thankgiving salah for Allah by whose mercy and helps she is married happily and satisfactorily lives with her honest diligent husband.
this memorable marriage of my sister would always be into my memories and this was a wonderful surprise and great adventure which happened unexpectedly rather. I thanked many many times to Allah for this alone. all praises and glories and holiness to almighty god.

A wintery morning

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 15:46:09 GMT

at the break of the wintery morning
once in a village of the Uttar Pradesh
lazily rose, cladded woolens heavely
reached chilling water to complete Vazoo
though shivering but reached mosque
whilst returning dark foggy billows hanging all around
walking with trumpling feet, rubbing hands and exhaling playfully
streets wearing deserted with grim look
this rare adventurous morning provoked me to walk further
sharp freezing winds blowing swiftly without mercy
leaves daub with patches of mists
moistures stagnant at blades of grasses gracefully
peasants still engage into farmings
some were nestle together by fire
scattered huts appearing dilapidated
that lively babble river halted to silence
those notorious, chirpy birds froze to indolence
serene, damp and icy morning almost compelled every to laziness
but as to return myself to home
slight hue of sunrays
keep tearing the thick misty atmosphere
and finally sun melt away laziness.

Where would you recommend people give their time?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 14:06:31 GMT

I THINK PEOPLE SHALL STRIVE IN BRINGING PEACE ACROSS THE GLOBE. WE NEED TO FIGHT TERRORISM HARSHLY INDIVIDUALLY rather depending upon government agencies because they themselves are entwining it with their own political gains I,E Iraq War. THE BIGGEST AND CHALLENGING PROBLEM IN TODAY'S WORLD IS TERRORISM. MANKIND NEEDS TO STAND TOGETHER TO COPE WITH THIS NEW DEADLY PROBLEM.

On the behalf of muslims, I want to say that no muslims wants terrorism even they considered as disgusting, mean and shameless act by a man on the Earth as it has been accepted, acknowledged by mankind over the world.

It is nothing but a political tacts or controversy by few bad elements of society who are greed of moneys, power ( dictatorship ) and to spread the feeling of animosity among jews, christians. SINCE people are very poor just as penurious and illiterate even to their own religion so these bad and maliced people brain-washed them easily by luring lots moneys and falsely guiding them in the name of jehads.

In the glorious Quran, Allah says

" If you kill a person then you have killed whole humanity "
killing even one person is heinous sin in the sight of Allah

In the Hadith of prophet Mohammed ( peace n blessings of allah be upon him ), Allah's messenger quoted when someone shows anger over any one among all created creatures of the world even an ant then he wonot be able to spare himself from the anger of almighty Allah on the DAY OF RESSURECTION or JUDGEMENT DAY.

infact the meaning of ISLAM. islam is derived from an arabic word SALAM which means peace and ee means submitting will to almighty God. therefore Islam means Peace obtained by submitting will to almighty God.

Nowhere in the glorious Quran or in the Hadith of the prophet Mohammed ( peace n blessings be upon him ) is written that jehad is holy war and to kill innocent non-muslims.

infact meaning of jehad in the Hadith has been defined as to struggle with own self.
it has broad meaning implying to sacrifice appetites or kill negative desires. to give Jakat ( charity largely in the way of poors ), to pray immensely, to fast and so. this is what Allah's messenger prophet Mohammed ( peace, blessings be upon him )

What is your idea of heaven?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 15:36:58 GMT

verily I believe in after life, heaven and hell.

now, this is the truth because

the mightiest messengers of almighty God { few listed as Jesus christ ( peace n blessings be upon him ), moses ( peace n blessings be upon him ) Ibrahim ( peace n blessings be upon him ) Joseph ( peace n blessings be upon him ) and the last messenger prophet Mohammed ( peace n blessings be upon him )
and also the four only books from almighty God, named as

1) Tauret ( revealed unto David - peace n blessings be upon him )
2) Zubur also known as old testament ( revealed unto moses - peace n blessings be upon him )
3) Ingil as new testament or popularly known as Holy Bible ( revealed unto Christ - peace n blessings be upon him )
and the last book The Glorious holiest Quran for whole mankind revealed unto last messenger prophet Mohammed ( peace n blessings be upon him )

therefore It is written in these greatest, holiest books about hereafter life, heaven and hell and so these messengers of God orally also said. hence, accordingly Jewish brothers n sisters , christians brothers n sisters and muslims brothers n sisters shall believe in After life, heaven and hell verily because whoever believe in these true and mighty messengers and holy books of Almighty God.

If you believe in bible n jesus christ ( peace, blessings be upon him ) then it is logical to believe in hereafter life, heaven.

so is for judaism and so for Islam.

What have you been the most naive about?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:21:51 GMT

that the people changes with the time passes or even in the static time , it is so mean part of people that all of sudden deny their own friends to recognise them. I do not know why do people do such things to people, maybe they do not come up to know or understand other people's thoughts or opinions.
you know friends the most gnawing thing that linger into one's heart or brain is when you ignore someone esp. your friends.

I think Ignorance is the disease and mostly people suffer out of it, it is just hindrance in absolute peace to soul and weapons to create people more inclined to animosity.

How do you feel about strangers?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 11:39:46 GMT

what is sufism

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 12:31:45 GMT

Man qaala laa ilaaha ill Allah, dakhala al-janna
Whoever says, 'There is no god, but God,' enters Paradise.

-Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad

' Ibaaraatuhum shattaa wa-husnuka waahid
Wa-kullun ilaa dhaaka al-jamaali yushiir ''
Their expressions are manifold and Your loveliness is one
And everyone points to that beauty
Quoted by Shaykh 'Abd al-Halim Mahmud, former Shaykh al-Azhar

Jumla ma'shuq ast-o 'aashiq pardah'i
Zenda ma'shuq ast-o 'aashiq mordah'i
All is the Beloved and the lover is a veil
The Beloved is alive and the lover is dead

Rumi, Mathnawi

Ever since Sufis began to speak about Sufism, they have defined it in many different ways. translated from Persian, titled What is Tasawwuf (Sufism). Sufis-which is what practioners of Sufism are called- see themselves to be on a spiritual journey toward God. In order to guide spiritual travellers and to express the states of consciousness experienced on this journey, Sufis produced an enormously rich body of literature, This journey is referred to as the path (tariqah). While all Muslims believe that they are on the pathway to God and will become close to God in Paradise- after death and the " Final Judgment "- Sufis believe as well that it is possible to become close to God and to experience this closeness- while one is alive.

Furthermore, the attainment of the knowledge that comes with such intimacy with God, Sufis assert, is the very purpose of the creation. Here mentioning the hadith qudsi in which God states, " I was a hidden treasure and I loved that I be known, so I created the creation in order to be known." Hence for the Sufis there is already a momentum, a continuous attraction on their hearts exerted by God, pulling them, in love, towards God. They experience the joyful ecstasy of being gently drawn to their Eternal Beloved, yet this primordially blissful return seems to have been interrupted. The Persian poet Hafiz remarked,
O Wine giver, pour me a cup and pass it around
for love seemed easy at first, but later the difficulties arose.

Allah Hafiz ! ( May Allah protect you ) Wishing every my friends to have a blessed and most quietude weekend with lots frisky moments !

What sort of people have you been communicating with?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 11:23:07 GMT

We are all ONE, I strive for oneness and I find in everybody something to be learned. I consider everyone to be equally talked, acknowledge and treated and so I endeavour to keep my this spirit alive.

we have so short a life and if we cannot live lovingly, mutually peacefully then we are foolish because this is loves and friendliness that keep alive our spirit into happinesses rather. I just say do not choose any particular people or caste or creed but yes please endeavour to establish sense of connectedness with everyone even with plants and animals. thank you, much loves, light and peace to everyone !

What's the connection between midsummer and mystery?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:39:36 GMT

It was a torrid, sultry noon in my small remote village ( located in the Eastern India ). I can easily reckon, my colleagues collected outside my house to go on a spree. firstly decided to march to a pond located at a distance of half a mile by foot. subsequently borne idea of plucking mangoes from near-by orchards whilst stroding for pool.
we had ourselves to bathe in cool water for a bit of time. stretching all notorious activities from sneering to dabbling, shrieking to bullying others. after adventurous bath few reluctantly agreed to march toward orchard as we were forbid to enter since solely owned by rich, despot land-lords. as It was my notion so was I much earnest to resume, though friends propped me promptly. during the month of may and june, mangoes flourish lavishly in areas of north- central India. I could not resist my temptation to fall at mangoes as glances struck trees thickly laden with sappy mangoes and trepassed into orchard by sneaking from watchmen, we were driven into delirious lure by copius mangoes and keep darting deep inside the orchard.

rushed on the floor to fumble stones but stones striking could not work well, and none was ready to climb on a tree due to fear of unable to run away if watchmen appear and ultimately become their prey. however, I decided to climb on tree to pluck mangoes. to my unfortunate was caught by a watchman though friends gave shouts, due to thick tall tree skidded, crawled sluggishly provided watchman easy clasp.
I was escorted by watchman to my home. he complained to my mother impertinently about our mischievous activity swiftly.

I was escorted by watchman to my home. he complained to my mother impertinently about our mischievous activity effortlessly. to this my naughtiness, mom decided to imprison me into a tiny, musty cramped room in the house which used to resonant me as a creepy room during childhood. gloomy, smeared and tarnished with number of spiderwebs hanging, mouldy stinky smell keep haunting in one's nose until absolute exit from filthy room. the antiquated low wooden door, whose rusted hinges make grating sound on giving movements, made me to quiver. I used to peep stealthily when mom used to enter with the dim lighted lantern ( traditional lightning apparatus in villages when electricity was absence ). she use this dilapidated room for storing outdated, ignorant stuffs. my memories gradually countering these fancies and wave of timidness felt by me as mother took me to scary room but my persistent cry melt her to forgive me and pardon my mischievousness.

How do you respond to being alone?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 08:17:56 GMT

solitude is the school of wisdom, I read once.
being solitary loved by me most, may be I am kind of pensive so silence is highly fascinated by me. solitary is being conducive in conjuring me with numeral fanices, notions and thoughts infact my life does entail me toward solitary however I am so a very gregarious, affable and congenial person rather.

very popular saying " silent river runs deep ". solitude give rise to penetrate in one's own self and to explore, indeed solitude is the medium to commune with God. solitude plays an important role in mankind's life.

Love knows no boundaries,

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:39:34 GMT

located a small village
on the fringe of the plateau
dwell a shaggy versatile shephard
who is good at flute, bleat.

on an adventurous hike
extravagant beauteos girly onemorning,
wabbling through rough trails ;
melodies of singing flute impelled her
to scour the wood ;
utterly engross in playing on flute
a shephard along his flock ,
bewitch music resonant around lavishly.

of his flute singing became she amorist
entice to attend furtively
decided she to have talks oneday
seeing her shivered He severely
with bade utter she - you are fabulous
reluctantly remained silent he
kicking feign repulsive
keep gnawing him, her presence
as she belong to priveleged noble family
himself a drudging shephard
in humble tone he utter to girl
to walk away but
she demand to listen his flute
her sweetly crave and heavenly beauty
urge him to agree.

enchanting plays by boy at flute
heavenly exuberant beauty, innocency of girl
tempted both to fall in love
his solitary vanished
cantering both, exploring intrinsic of love
days of distress begin by parting away
when family of girl
prohibit her outings
and sentence boy to agonise

being sneaky she with family
girl herself freed the boy
flee together they stealthily
launches away deep into light of love.

Love knows no boundaries,
Love knows no boundaries,
Love knows no boundaries,

What sets off your creativity?

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:04:11 GMT

Into quiescent state, whilst endeavoring to ponder meditatively at length is conducive to my creative thoughts. it is quite hard for oneself to flood with creative ideas. one need to toil for it with patience. the best way to pour down your creativity is just scrawl them onto pieces of paper whenever they light up into your imaginations or memories because at different times and at different places you get to conjure with different, varied and unlike ideas, maybe out them an ingenuity thoughts occur or by joining them all make any much prolific sense.
I have generally tried by joining my written thoughts at different times makes quite sense. see sometime I keep reflecting my muse for hours but could not collect and sometime I have cocieved a full, meaningful poem within half an hour or one hour.

No muslims hate any jews or christians,

http://owais1231.gaia.com — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:34:56 GMT

see not any muslim hate either christians or jews but yes they are being brain-washed by hardliners or fundamentalist clerics, they are being fostered, reared into false teachings of hatred by refferring as kafirs by them & old rival histories, with the help of taking complete advantages of their illiteracy and emotions pertaining to religionism.

this close teachings and instilling them spirits of hatred and rigidity thoughts since early age to muslim masses in under-developed and developing countries become so powerful and furious that on their maturity initiate sporadic or guerilla wars with western hemisphere countries. they are been so lucidly brain-washed, that nothing could halt them but to suicide in the false illusionary fight named Jehad.

I think by saying or accusing muslims as bad, is not wise and it will only widen miscreated gap of hatred. because majority of muslims are illiterate and poors and this is the ample oppurtunity to mean, malice and crafty hardliners who have gluts of moneys to attract them to pick up weapons against JEWS & CHRISTIANS since they are illiterate and unemployed moreover they are been constantly torturing emotionally and brain-washed since childhood.

I am Muslim and a true muslim, who have enough knowledges of Islam and Holy Quran, by which I have never read any such things which contemplate muslims to hate non-muslims, infact Islam is the religion of Peace, integraty, brotherhood and loves.
