Castle in the Sand
I built castle in the sand
Reaching to the far off land
I gathered the sand to mount it high
Thinking to built a castle in the sky
But fate took a different path
The castle I had built was down at last
The breeze blew
The castle flew...
I now sit here all alone
Gathering the sand to rebuild a home

Inferno
Happiness is short lived and comes out of lust
Ask a man what makes him happy, he'll tell you if he must...
He looks at a woman and oozes with lust
A woman with bosom and a cleavage is a must
Watch his eyes travel as she walks pass by
The lesser she wears...the deeper the sighs
This is what I call Inferno of mind
Men will be men, no matter where you find...

Mocking Bird
Dark as dungeon, rough as the sea
don't provoke my tolerance, you hardly know me...
Broken are my feathers... a bird that cannot fly
just your words are enough to make me cry.
Nestled in your own world, the feathers keep you warm
my life is a struggle.... I'm still fighting the storm
your given hand of friendship and floating views i see
Are enough to kill a mocking bird and set her free

Merey Dua (A poem written in URDU)
Merey Dua
Zindagi kitney bari aik naimat hai kudha
Kameyabi ki bulandi cho-ey har urnay wali ghata
Saba-e-noor sey roshan hai teray wojood ka nizam
Har guncha aur dali jukay aur karay tujhay salaam
Fariyad tujh sey karti hoon kabi suun ley meri sada
Karam kar meray Aaqa aur suun ley meri dua
Shah-en-shahiat tujh pey khatam iss jehan ka raab hai tu
Bhar dey meri jholee aur kar puri meri dua.

Children by Meena Mustafa
Cherish the little moments so tender and sweet
Of children who grow up so quickly indeed
Who teach you things that blow your mind
Giggles of joy...where will you find?
Undying love, Unshakeable faith
Big little hugs of the tightest embrace
The way they look you in the eye,
The way they hold you when they cry.

A Perfect Dream by Meena Mustafa
I am a dreamer, I dream all big and small
In my dreams I travel, where I have never been at all
In my fantasy, I had a wonderful dream
Prince William from England, flew down to make me his queen
I was taken by surprise, when I saw him standing by
My heart skipped a beat, when he looked into my eyes
He kissed my hand and asked, if I would be his queen
Flattered by his gesture…this was a perfect dream

A Cry By Meena Mustafa
A dusty road lies beyond my imagination
I stretch across the naked earth still
lingering in despair
From every corner I hear a cry,
A broken image before you lies
In the cruel hands of death
Is the streak to kill
People tormented
Broken houses
Empty stomachs
Burning desires...
There is neither a path nor a destination
'cause it's the end of the journey
and strange enough no one knows
when dust suddenly covers you...

Illusion
How do I begin and where do I end
who will be the one whom I can depend.
I fool myself, an illusion I see
Thinking that he'll be there for me.
But when at night I lay in bed
I reach out for him and nothing I get...
It's only an illusion that comes my way
Will I be ever lucky someday.
To have him, feel him and call him mine
I will then finally draw a line.
No more illusion then I will see
if this turns out into reality.

Today and Beyond Tomorrow…
Among flowers there are roses
Among roses there are thorns
... My life was so empty
Until you came along
It was not into my ear you wispered
But into my heart
Because you are the reason…
I fell in love atlast
You made me feel so special
In your own special ways

Don't play with me
Love is a great feeling
But it can tear you apart
Not knowing what the outcome
And what others have in their hearts
You give your best shot …hoping all is fine
Caring far too much …you have to draw a line
I don't know why I feel this way
But honestly it is true
I just want to be with you…and now I feel so blue
I hope you will love me the same…
With your actions I should see
And love me for who I am…and not play with me.
