Putting on the Hijab
I don’t judge people according to what they wear.
For Our President
Be loyal, wise, and we
will support you through
all. You have given hope
to the eyes of the old,
the eyes of the child.
Broken Glass
my life is turning like autumn
I feel as scattered the leaves
buried under the roof

The Decision
I chose a person to love when I felt alone
May Allah forgive me for the decision I made
Mother
When your presence shined on me, I felt like a star
You made me laugh
I Can’t Coz It Was Always You…
Come hold me coz I wanna be yours
I am getting scattered
Memories
My feet tremble … I look back … blurred faces appear, my daughter and
the dreadful home. I chose her, and the dreadful home chose me. I smile as
if nothing happened.
Imprisonment
The pain my love pounded in me
is like a stone, heavy and hard.
My love for him can’t lift it from within.
