The Wandering Mind





Author of fate

Raise yourself to heights as such
Author of your own fate you become

Fearless
Fearless in face of strong gusts 
remained the unpreturbed hawk.
Mesmerised by your reasoning -
it blows to help you fly higher.

Fairyland
Where fairies sing and dance
Majestic castles standing tall
Flowing water, the bright sun
Food and drinks in the fields

Let me get back to my world
Let me get back home again!

Nayaab
Search high & low if you will
Unfindable - so rare are we

King of the jungle

The lion is not considered king because it is the strongest, neither because it's the biggest nor because it's the wealthiest. The lion is deemed king because of its character, its personality, its class and the aura it creates.

Tay Brava
Of the toughest blood I was born, in the battlefields I was raised, firmly standing my ground, undefeated I remain.

The Tiger 
Fearlessly, easing through the forest in its own company. Glancing around, creating an aura that demands respect. Majestically quiet, gracefully intimidating, fiercely tough ... the tiger roams the jungle.

Free
Free like a hawk soaring the skies with the world beneath it. Absolutely, heavenly, majestically… free.

Pakistan vs Adversity     

Hit me as hard as you will
As many times as you can
Throw me back if you will
Knock me down if you can

I will bounce right back
I will take it in my stride
I will return on the track
I will stand, full of pride

In pain, I stare at your face
I have had it rougher before
Hurting, still showing grace
I have survived plenty more

Bad times these are, no doubt
Let these words be a reminder
Do not fear this wind O'Hawk
It blows to help you fly higher

The Human Strength

I am the pride of the poor
the smile of the starving
the persistence of the sick
the will under oppression

the sadness in violence
the tears of the grieving
the affection of a stranger
the patience of the mistreated

the sacrifice of many millions
the hardwork of generations
the giver, instead of the taker
the unconditional, pure love

I am The Human Strength
