Eclipse

Looking up at the constellations Thinking of the immensities of the sky Looking down at the dewy grass Feels like some rain stopped by Pondering upon the things life has to offer Finding out a reason for one last try The silence of night is sinking my heart I am crying out loud this one word “why” At that very moment I see you coming Gazing at me and passing by For that moment’s sake I smiled And felt the world’s utmost joy I think I found a reason to stay A reason to live my life not die…

Lately I have been thinking about love and stuff. I often see people around me who just see someone somewhere and fell head over heels in love and after some months or years the “love” fades away and they either breakup or live together like aliens. Upon asking they usually reply, “He never loved me”, “She doesn’t care”, “We don’t fit together”. Is that love? No, it is not. Love is not spotting someone in a crowd and crushing over them. It is certainly not about knowing someone’s all favorite things in the world. It’s about getting to know someone’s inner self. It is about giving yourself time to understand them and giving them time to understand you. The only thing that can actually prove true love is the test of time. Only time can tell you whether you are in love or not.

I cannot fathom why When the skies are grey And sunlight tries really hard To reach the Earth I feel like reaching out Spreading my hands to hold you Just like the sunlight Combats every particle in her way To embrace the universe out there

Nothing ever goes as planned by us. Nothing ever turns as we want it to be. We believe we can change the world but change is not so easy. Is it? Are you even able to change yourself? Then how can you change the world. Are you just planning so? You plan to go this way and end up going that way. You want to become this and end up becoming that. You want to stand out and end up standing in. You look out for joy and all you get is pain. You, me and us all never get to what we planned for. We become happy with the things we receive, the relations we make, the person we become but we never ask for more of anything. We never do anything up to the planned mark. We never think of becoming more of ourselves. Funny! Huh!

If you want something then go for it in the most acceptable and appropriate ways, and when you have tried and done everything you can do leave the matter to Allah and place your trust in him. Leave it to Allah, pray and be patient and see your wishes come true. What Allah chooses for you is the best, He will reward you in this world or in the other or in both. Stay connected to Him and accept His decree.
