Today is My Birthday

Today is the day when the Pen wrote my Name When the paragraphs had

Destined my loss and my gain.

Today is that day where 

An infant brought in

                                                       Had been named Me

For thats where story begins

Today I contemplate 

Years of waste

A year of transgression

And more to face.

Today is the day I celebrate 

The wretchedness of my fingers 

The uselessness in my time 

For today is the day

The pen wrote My Name.

Today is a memory of fires kindled 

Of sin and rebellion confided 

Today, a day of regret and grief 

For how many days were spend in misdeeds? 

Nay today is a day of sorrow 

And disparity, for every tear that

Was dropped without rationality !

Today marks what has been established 

And what , from it is missing.

Today is a lesson, virtue and a blessing 

Reminding a Soul of its chances 

A soul with breath, to make fresh changes.

Before the inevitable knocks in my fate! 

So when you bring the birthday Cake 

And You put the candles on the stake 

I remind you each candle marks

The burning flame of this Dunya’s Game

Every candle marks a struggle I withheld And A struggle untoldFor today the day the pen wrote my Name And today is the day I WAS born.....


Thank you emak and abah for bringing me into this colourful world........
