Life advances
Quite stealthily
Like a lioness on the prowl.
Loved one is worried
Like many around me
As if time can be stopped...
How to convince
Tense minds and rest-deprived souls?
Even I am facing what comes my way
With faith in God Almighty
And with full hope in His guidance and mercy
His help and loving protection...
I know that nothing here lasts forever
And the struggle to win poses challenges
All along the way, but to the brave...
Joy and sorrow, hope and dejection
Success and failure, rise and fall
Are what we must contend against
With the confidence and awareness
That these are but phases
That keep us busy from birth to death.
Fear not, O my beloved, rare woman
And fret not over matters beyond control.
Know full well that my heart is still yours
You possess it so how can't I love you?
I will keep on loving you as always
God willing, with the constancy
With which I have been blessed with
By my Loving Lord God, Allah.
I waver not even in my weakened state
For my love is true and my passion too
Is everlasting and unflinching...
Grieve not O my beloved
Just because the clock is ticking away
And our span of living in this world
Appears to be laughing at us...
Look at the universe and quietly ponder
On the many worlds spread far and wide
And yet the light of true love glows and shines
In the hearts of those who love sans doubt
Without being cowed by time-tricks at any pause...
Become not a victim in the vicious circle
Of anxiety, gloom or depression.
Just because I seem out of your reach...
Know that I have to overcome many hurdles
With manly courage and fortitude
And stoic belief in God's will.
Orion still hovers in the night sky
And the moon too is hidden by the clouds
But you just keep looking higher and higher
And know that God is our best Helper...
I have never ever given up or lost
Even by the most threatening odds
Defeat has never come close to me
Even when many around me thought
That I was flattened and beaten and gone...
This has never been for My God always
Strengthens me and I rise and win
Against all opponents that blocked my way.
I am a warrior blessed by my Creator
And victory always embraces me
At times bewildered, yet always smiling
With arms wide open it always greets me.
So, my beloved, rare woman
Think not with doubt about my love.
I am unshaken and still on my feet
Quietly advancing towards my goal
Never giving up at any stage
To be with you as your loving man
God willing it will be so!
And my love for you helps me strive
With greater might and with God's help
I will very soon become yours
As willed by God totally yours....
These trials and tribulations
Of these wintry times
Scare me not even a bit
Nor do the cunning ploys
Of those pitted against me...
Because I believe only in winning.....
And thanks to Allah, my ever-loving God,
I have always won and mauled
Anything or anybody opposing me.
I may appear cocky at times
But thanks to God, I have never lost
Any battle or fight in my life till now.
So please set your mind at rest
And never ever suspect my love.
I may seem somwhat shy
In several ways to you now
But I reaffirm my vow to you
That nothing will stop me from meeting you
For God is always by my side
And makes me beat the looming tide.
I am not bragging or boasting here
But only saying the obvious truth
That I will surely be there with you very soon
By your side,,, to love you
Like no man has ever loved
A woman like this one does... and will always do....
