Ayesha Jabbar Poems

All that was is a distant dream
All fondness of memories drained

But in the heart is a gleam of truth
...

To the idol, the labouring hand said;
be my hope and bring me joy,
for i cherish your form,
and in your being, rests my hope.
...

My dear sorrow
love me true and deep
...

Before i go, oh world
I want to fly

Spread my winds
...

Nothing to live for
Nothing to die for
There's only you...
And nothing but you
...

If tomorrow ever comes
leave in your heart a glimmer of hope
that draws in the light
and illuminates the soul
...

Voices deep inside
that echo of dismay

And thoughts and bits of feelings
...

​As i struggle to break free,
​t​he shadows pull me back

​Entangle my feet in debris of dreams​​
and pull my soul away from reality
...

Your majesty holds me in awe
And fills ​my heart with a ​reverence deep
Oh lord! ​thine​ mastery
Kun Fayakun!
...

I wait for ​the time when the dream shall be over
and when reality unfurls its wings

When all falsehood shall perish
...
