Dear Moulana, excuse my son…

February 19, 2015

Dear Moulana, please excuse my son not being there,
The School kept him in because of his sporting flair!
On Monday the coach called him for soccer training,
And on Tuesday he was tired and his legs were paining!
On Wednesday, Cricket was what kept him away,
And he hurt his wrist so he couldn’t come on Thursday.
On Friday, he tried very hard to be present in your class,
But, he was given a position in the team that he just couldn’t pass!

Dear Parent, It is quite fine by me if, for your son, that is what you chose,
As long as you know that by planting a thorn, you do not expect a rose!
At your janazah, do not expect a son who will make dua for you and read Surah Yaseen,
But know, that around your grave, he will dribble and stutter, for, you made dribbling his deen!

Old friends in the cupboard!

Sheesha, my trusty old mirror, is the oldest friend I have in my wardrobe, who, till today, still hangs around,He witnessed all my apparel, those that make me look thin, and those that cannot be worn without a groaning sound!He grimaces when He sees my first kurta...

Say it now!!!

Your love for your close ones, you must express,For after they are gone, it will be too late to confess!To say "I am sorry!" for mistakes, do not waste time,For ignoring your fault, just intensifies your crime!Say "Thank you!" To all those who do you a favour,And from...

Boarding the plane!

Let me say, before boarding this aeroplane, That despite my actions, I am quite sane! What I say after this may be termed as a bequest, But if I reach my destination, it becomes a request! Please, oh my child, Go to Madrasah and learn,For right now, in my mind, it is...

Books at High school

Remember the first time you opened Shakespeare? How, suddenly, you were filled with immense fear? And then SHANE came galloping to the rescue, And showed you PEOPLE ARE LIVING THERE too! And then you sat to have CIDER WITH ROSIE, Discussing how TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD...

School is Over

Now that school is done and your offspring are jumping around, demanding of you,You have an opportunity to appreciate the efforts of Sir, Madam, Aapa and Moulana too! As you tear your hair out, shouting, running around and wondering how on earth did they do it,Take...
