  • Choti Billi — A Poem

    A feline marvel, wandering astray, Like a tranquil spirit seeking its own pathway, Uncertainty, hesitation, a mind divided, all may sway, Yet the marvelous cat holds its ground, come what may, Deliberate strides, eyes that veil, actions unseen, Preferring the shadows, a vigilant sage, keen, Its commitment supersedes fleeting pleasures serene, A wager on a…

  • Exploring the Intersection of God, Mathematics, Philosophy, and the Human Psyche

    Can we comprehend God in terms of Mathematical formulation? This topic has fascinated philosopher and theologians for centuries, to formulate postulates that can describe God. Aristotle said once God managed to take a form in the time and space, that thing it will form God, that mean everything else is not God. If God exists…

  • Whispers of Nature — A Poem

    Nature’s beauty is all around, But if it doesn’t inspire you, Think of the tree with its branches, A symbol of strength and unity. A bird in flight, a marvel to see, But if it doesn’t stir your heart, Think of it as a symbol of resilience, Navigating through life’s ups and downs. Clouds may…

  • Happy new year 2023 — A Poem

    My name is time; You dress me with the cloaks of months and years, But truly, I’m far far beyond your understanding, I’m a metaphorical cage in which every living being lives, The pivot between ‘Kun’ and ‘Faya-koon’, The hinge between every yin ad yang, I am the first breath of a newborn, And the…

  • My name is Happiness — A Poem

    My name is Happiness, a feeling so rare I’m wing of your psyche Your soul flies on my behalf I live in a house built upon the foundation of pain and suffering I’m a butterfly whose trajectory is unknown I am the light that brightens your day I am the joy that fills your heart…

  • My name is Money — A Poem

    My name is Money; I am the driving force behind every decision I’m the primitive consciousness of the crowd I flow through the veins of society, the lifeblood of trade I am the measure of success, the indicator of wealth But do not let me define you, for I am just a concept A means…

  • A Thread between Life and Death

    A Thread between Life and Death

    Say to my friends, when they look upon me, dead, Weeping for me and mourning me in sorrow, ‘Do not believe that this dead body you see is myself, In the name of God, I tell you, it is not I, I am a spirit, and this is nothing but flesh, It was my house…

  • ھر لحظه به شكل بت عيار برآمد مولانا جلال الدین رومی

    ھر لحظه به شكلي بت عيار بر آمد — دل برد و نهان شد هر دم به لباس دگر آن يار بر آمد — گه پير و جوان شد ہر لحظہ وہ بتِ عیار ایک نئی ہی شکل میں ظاہر ہوتا ہے — دل چھینتا ہے اور غائب ہو جاتا ہے۔ ہر دم وہ یار…

  • The difference between Thoughts & Words

    A thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings But cannot fly… A thought is a flower, that blooms in the darkest corners of the psyche The wind of language may indeed spread around its fragrance But cannot reveal the shape… A thought is a Butterfly,…

  • It was Paradoxical – A Poem

    It was paradoxical… As I loved you… As I surrendered my soul for your love… I became like you! Similar consciousness doesn’t progress but tends to regress… So I could only love you by being apart from you… It was paradoxical… He believed praying was the only way forward Until reaching a stage when he looks…

  • Darling – A Poem

    Darling at that stage of your life, you were too naive and blunt; Maybe your life was too shallow and meaningless; It was, ultimately, pain which made it purposeful and deep.   Now since you have gone through all, you still want to go back? That optimum combination of hormones you mistook as love. But…

  • Persona – A poem

    Out beyond the ideas of wrong and right, Out beyond the colours of black and white, Out beyond the notions of dark and bright.   There is a field, A murky house, An imaginative space, A prison of people, They are confined in that for a life time.   They want to come out of…

  • Why are some people patriotic?

    The apparent harmony in the universe is leveraged upon an interesting secret. It has been created in such a way, each entity seeks its manifestation through the abstract logical opposite. Each Yin seeks fulfilment in Yang, Eros in Logos, Anima (male energy) in Aminus (female energy) and vice versa. In short, they are raison d’etre…

  • Yin Yang — A Poem

    What if life and death are on one thread; The same line viewed from different sides   What if creator and creation are linked; Only through an inflatable line of creativity   What if pain and pleasure are inseparable; Two ends of an intertwined woven thread   What if a plausible question hold more truth; More than a conflated and exaggerated answer   What if he strives to choose…

  • I’m an Equation – A Poem

      I’m an equation. Closely bounded set of variables. Some additive, some compounded on one side. Equality to Life…. on the other side. I represent the partial truth of my creator. My creative expressions are indirect expressions my creator. I receive truth from my creator and pass on to my creation. I can’t understand Him,…

  • I Love Goodbyes – A Poem

    I love goodbyes. I love when people say, maybe we will never see each other again. I love when the eyes sparkle with gratitude for the last time. I love longing, suffering and pain. Each painful moment redefine my future happiness ceiling. I like autumn, which is covered by golden leaves. I like it because…

  • Do we judge each other?

    If someone claim they don’t judge, while saying this they are infact performing the mere act of judgement. Judgement is infact one of the fundamental criterion for human survival. Act of Judgement follows this sequential process, we acquire previous experiences/observations available in the subconscious mind, estimate the posed threat,  apply judgement and make a decision.…

  • Why Indians are more likely to be Extroverts?

    Hegel describes the meaning of life through an interesting thought experiment: A fierce battle between two spirits; One spirit representing Liberty and the other one Life. They fight with each other. Ultimate purpose for one spirit is to kill the other one. But unfortunately if one spirit kills the other one, they will not be…

  • How Religion and Science are compared to each other?

    When I try to imagine the archetype of religion, I see an old man with a long beard, holding a stick in his hand. He is assured that he holds the ultimate truth. He has firm belief that ultimate truth lies in the past. The remoter the referral towards the past is, the more authentic…

  • A conversation with a candle – A poem

    Last night I asked to the candle of my desolate room; What you want from your expendably extinguishing life While your hair gets combed by the wings of the moths From where have you acquired this illuminating anecdotic fire? You have infused the love of death in the eyes of the poor insects! Since a…

  • A conversation with a wise man

    On a beautiful evening, I was sitting on a high mountain. Clear sky with lovely stars and good weather. The weather inside me was very terrible though. There was a hidden storm of strong sentiments. I felt waves of emotions were striking against walls of my heart. Suddenly the streams of emotions found no other outlet but my…

  • O my soul – A poem

    O my soul, where are you? Do you hear me? I speak, I call you – are you there? I have returned, I am here again. My body has been your house for a while. I travelled in the landscapes of imagination lured by a hope of meeting you. I always wanted to uncover the…
