aab e haya

 aab e haya

raabta bana 

ishq manzil hi ajeeb hai

raabta bana

aankhen bhi yunhi khwabeed hai

kinara tera hi sahi

saaya na raha dil ka ab

kanjoos kismat ne bhi kamzarf kinara badal daala

jaate jaate kuch kehna tha tujhse

shayad daga dono ki hai

zubaan se phir kyun aaj bhi

dam dam dua nikal ti hai

aabro e roshan rahe fasana tera jahan bhi ho

toh kal shayad mere mohalle mein

teri hasi ki awaaz aajae

Rukhsar, in dino chain nahi aata tujhe dekh kar kya azmat hai yeh kabhi awaazon ne bhi kisi ko tanqeed kiya hai dil mein utarna ek shaks ki pehchan se hoti hai nikalna uski fitrat dikha deti hai juft khuda khoob likhta hai nibhane wale insaan hai na kabhi aaina dekh rukhsar mayoosi cha chuki hai uspe chalo aaine ki khaatir naam ke sadqay muskurah de rukhsar aarsa guzar gaya hai teri mohabbat mein ab dil ko insaan parakhna nahi aata jo dekhta hoon yun mehfil mein, kirdar tera sa nazar nahi aata le phir tu dil se kiraya rehne ke liye kabhi toh honsla ban mera mannat maangi Maalik se teri, na maloom tha dil ko hijrat karni padegi

Beneath the Crescent Moon

  Amina knew dawn's embrace before the sun peeked over the desert dunes. Her grandmother, Ummi Noor, would rustle awake, their floor mat unfurling like a prayer for the rising light. Together, they'd face Mecca, hands outstretched, words woven into the air like silken threads. Islam wasn't just a religion for Amina; it was the tapestry of her life. Ummi Noor's stories were her bedtime lullabies. Tales of prophets whispering in caves, of caravans laden with spices and stars, of gardens bursting with pomegranate jewels. Amina imagined herself soaring on Rukh's back, a mythical bird with wings that spanned the horizon. Islam wasn't just scriptures; it was a kaleidoscope of wonder, painting her spirit with vibrant hues. At school, girls giggled in hushed tones, whispering about her headscarf. Amina, though young, understood their curiosity. To them, it was a veil, a barrier. But for Amina, it was a shield, woven from threads of faith and...

Whispers of the Sand Chapter 1

  The asphalt beneath Hassan's feet crunched like brittle bones. Dust devils waltzed across the cracked, sun-baked expanse, miniature dervishes pirouetting in the oven-like air. Each breath felt like inhaling sand; each blink blurring the skeletal cityscape through a gritty film. Fifty-five summers had baked his skin the color of sunbaked clay, each wrinkle a testament to a world choked by its demise. He squinted against the unforgiving glare, the sky above a bruised expanse where hope had bled into despair. This was Brooklyn, once a vibrant tapestry of life, now a graveyard of rust and weeds. Buildings stood like hollow skulls, gutted by time and scavengers. The park across the street, once a verdant Eden, was a desolate expanse of brown, dotted with the spectral outlines of buildings long consumed by nature's revenge. He remembered childhood games of hide-and-seek beneath the willow tree, its branches then vibrant whips of green. Now, it was a gnarled skeleton, fingers of bar...
