Omer Shahid Poems

United we stand divided we fall;
Let's return to Allah, listen to HIS call;

We were sent to this earth with a purpose in hand;
...

Forever with you
Respectable
Ignoring your mistakes
Endorsable
...

Too long have I been afraid;
Too long have I lived in the darkness!
Too long have I followed what others say because my words don't matter to them!
But NOT anymore;
...

O Muslim of today
Full of greed and lust

Have you ever pondered that…
We're all going through rust?
...

I don't know what's up with everyone today;
Calling, texting, emailing, saying 'Happy Mother's Day'
If you really love your mom then stop trying to prove it;
One day to show your love? That's really kind of stupid;
...

So what if life never gave you a chance;
So what if you never got a stage to dance;

Just let the world say that you're wrong;
Just keep on singing your happy song.
...

Trying to do every little good deed,
She'd wake me up for Fajr's Salah (First Prayer of the Day) !
To the teachings of Islam she'd pay true heed;
Seeing her would make me remember Allah!
...

I heard a story, quite odd if you ask;
About a girl who used to wear a cloth as a mask;

After picking up groceries, like on any average day
She went to the counter, asking how much she had to pay
...

Up or down, high or low;
Doesn't matter where you may go;
Know that HE is with you there;
Though HIMSELF HE does not show.
...

Lost and confused, not knowing what to do
They said I wasn't worthy to fit in anyone's shoe

What is this strange place?
...
