Life: In Being Myself Poem by Mahfooz Ali

The rising of the sun

and the setting of it also

were seen today

and will be tomorrow.



When something is happened once

it will surely happen again,

somewhere to someone.




History repeats itself

and surprises are few.

And today will bring nothing

that is genuinely new.



Except for life itself

which the Allah does create,

unique individuality,

nothing by mistake.



Once we have been created

there will never be another.

And this is why I have so much joy

in being my self!
