My heart's queen

On time's path I am walking day and night;
My ear is alert. Keen is my eyesight.
Now I wonder if I had time-machine
I would go faster and find my heart's queen.

Where are you, baby? How many miles away?
It's getting late. All my hairs are turning gray.

It just makes me sad I am still a half.
So my thoughts are becoming songs of love.

What are you up to? Won't you walk towards me?
Baby if I were God I would just say be.

Things are very complex and hard for us.
Problems engulf me like an octopus.

If I knew magic or knew telepathy
It would be fantastic and easy for me.

God's Chair (Ayatul Kurshi, Holy Koran)

I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.

There's no God but Allah
He is the Living Container
He is free from Sleep and drowsiness.
He is the owner of everything
That is in earth and skies.
Who can recommend to Him
Without His permission?
He knows everything
That is bygone and ahead of creation
No one can obtain even a bit of His knowledge
Without His help
His chair is everywhere
On earth and skies
He doesn't become even a little bit tired
Of controlling these two things
He is the High and the Great.

Love is like Prophet Solomon's ring

Throughout my life I would like to sing
Give me a little bit love darling
When you love me I feel like a king
Love is such a wonderful feeling
When life turns dark love keeps us dreaming
For a beautiful sunny morning
Baby be in love keep on loving
Without love we have only one wing
Love is like a magic that can bring
Smile on our face the most wanted thing
Love is like a tree needs watering
It bears sweet fruit so keep on waiting
Love can give life a whole new meaning
When you have love you have everything
And when you lose love you have nothing
Love is like Prophet Solomon's ring

A lonely man's monologue

So many false hopes like the stars of a moonless night
Show me the way to survive in this dreary life
I bury so many dreams like a grave digger
And give birth to new ones like a queen bee

My heart has broken into so many pieces
It has become the sands of a desert
My sighs have become super storms
My tears have become the clouds of rainy season
My smiles have become the lightning
And my laughter has become the thunderbolts

My days have become months
And my nights have become years
My poems have lost rhyme like the hot summer days
My songs losing all softness have become hard rock

The game of love

The game of love that I played
I was unfair all the way
I won your heart and broke it
Like a poor toy made of clay
Now I long for you today
When my hairs have become gray

Now I understand all the truth
I wasted all my precious youth
I made mistake in the first place
My whole life is now in a mess
Now I long for you today
When my hairs have become gray

Now we are oceans apart
All the girls now break my heart

Now I know what you mean to me
So I cry for my destiny
Now I have lost life's joy and charms

The Horses (Chapter 100, Holy Koran)

I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.

Swear upon the horses that run breathing panting
And the horses that produce fire sparkling
And the horses that raid at morning
Then thereby they started dust spreading
Then they rush upon an assembly
Mankind is ungrateful to their Lord definitely
And surely they are its witness
And surely they love the most the riches
Don't they know everyone will be raised from the graves
And things of their minds will be disclosed
Their Lord that day will be utterly aware of them of course.

The Questions

Who's going to be my quilt in the winter nights?
Who's going to do away with my bitter plights?

Who's going to make me warm in the rainy days?
Who's going to make straight my life's all zigzag ways?

Who's going to wipe my sweats in the summer's hot?
Who's going to want me madly love me a lot?

Who's going to enjoy with me the spring season?
Who's going to listen to me for some reason?

Who's going to watch with me the nights of autumn?
Who's going to make me dream of a charming home?

Who's going to be on my side like an old friend?
Who's going to drive my life to a happy end?

The Purifier

Water for shower washes away bodily dirt
Drinking water washes away dirt of body’s internal organs
And cleanses blood
Tears washes away dirt of mind
Thus teardrops carry away sins of all kind
And make people good
And give them the power to control mood.

From the lowermost paradise
Breeze will be blown sometimes
In the uppermost hell
So the sinners living there will be able to cry
And become good people
That’s why they will be forgiven someday or other
But the sinners of other hells
Will not be able to shed tears
Because of extreme hot weather
So they will be punished forever and ever.

My first love

I have cut off at least a thousand heads of Hydra
But I am still fighting with it
I wish I were Hercules

Throughout my youth
I was mesmerized by the nymphs
Now I have realized it was just
Waste of my most precious time

My first love was burnt to ashes
Like the phoenix
Now the ashes are turning into
My love once again
But the dragons are destroying
My sweet dreamland
By blowing with their mouths
Wild firestorms

Now my brain is haunted by the ghosts
They try to scare me to death

The Prohibition (Chapter 66, Verses 10-11, Holy Koran)

I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.

Allah has set forth example of Noah and Lut
For the people who disbelieve the Truth.
Both of them were prompt to my slavery
But their wives did the treachery
So they were unable to save them from Allah's anger
Then goes the order, enter into Hell's fire
With the ones who enter.

Allah has set forth Pharaoh's wife's example
For the faithful people
O Lord! Please make a home for me beside You in paradise
And save me from Pharaoh and all his goings-on
And save me from this cruel nation.
