Kalaam - e - Rehber - A Wish

A WISH

The time may come or may not

Because life's precious, and short

Let me feel free with open heart

Want to feel as if I am lost

Word comes out but never be caught

Blowing wind can not be stopped

Should remember what I've been taught

Keeping the good wishes in my thought

Things can be done, way to sort

Believe I still need to do a lot 

Wonder why, anger makes temper short

Tongue moves like a twister, mind go frost

Golden words like a flower in a pot

Beauty shows from each petal's spot

Sun makes you feel warm and hot

Thirsty, and sweaty there is no doubt

A line is nothing, but a dot

Nobody know the reason why or what

Neither I can bring back my past

Nor I know which breath is last

Don't know from where to start

The ends come, after the start

Praying from bottom of my heart

Give me patience and a kind heart

Bless the things which are the best

Bless the *rehber* who is a poet

Kalaam - e - Rehber - Friends, this is America!

Friends, this is America!

Friends, this is America! yes, this is America

Total freedom is in their life

Husband is tired with nagging wife

Men are more happy with men

Women also go to women

They do like to be parents

Don't know who is whose parents!

Friends, this is America! yes, this is America

The house, the car, the TV and the cell

It is not allowed to ring the door bell

Everything belongs to you only to you

Everything is on mortgage paid by you

From gym to beach, working to teach

Door to door they will go to preach

Friends, this is America! yes, this is America

Their culture is famous as a high society

Where everybody loves to show nudity

Summer is highly contaminated here

Flesh of bodies seen every where

Have no fear, to pass urine or stool

Please use paper, it is a cleaning rule

Friends, this is America! yes, this is America

Honesty is the best policy says all

Law is same for the big or fat, short or tall

Black and white, sits side by side

No differences!!! shows no pride

When time comes to choose for voting

Hated feeling comes out by shouting

Friends, this is America! yes, this is America

Feel free to choose your dance partner

Feel free to run away "4m" life partner

No doubt, here everyone loves everyone

Also know how to have good fun

The oldies go to a nursing home

Youngsters prefer to be away 4m home

Friends, this is America! yes this is America

Rest of the ways can fit under it's shadow

Because it provides you a bed with a pillow

Dare to face the challenges of the life 

There are ways to carry your knives

Nothing is wrong if you are truthful

Be nice & kind to become powerful

Friends, this is America! yes, this is America

This is the country full of opportunities

Explore the world with your capabilities

Soil of this land gives each and all 

Chance to blossom your inner all

The moral of this poem is nothing, but

Where ever you live don't lose UR trust

Friends, this is America! yes, this is America

This poet is one of from millions & millions

Who also has a dream of billions & billions 

Like everybody else, I do need money

Like everybody I will not spend money

Yes, only for the sake of God Almighty *Rehber* want to live & die with dignity

Kalam - e - rehber

A tribute to my late Father.

Written by Rana Karim

Haa'n yeh aik tasveer hay

Bani yeh hamari taqdeer hay

Ye kushada peshani udas ankhein

Ye mohnee soorut soni nigahein

Bhoole na bhoolaye rwoshan chehra

Kafun mein lipta wo soya chehra

Mowt ne cheena pidar ka saya

Dooba safeena howa rishta praya

Mheroomi kahein ya apna naseeb

Dooori bun gayee hay raqeeb

Hukm - e ilahee hay apni jughe

Farman utarta nahee bilawajhe

Muqqdar ka likkha tulta nahee

Dil-e-na'dan kiyoon sunbhalta nahee

Ruqum ki yeh threer ba'hysiyat-e-dukhtar

Mere baba ke naam kalam-e-Rehber

Hidden Messages....

What do you think this picture on the back of a car means? Now, whoever sees this picture, will say that the driver is a women beater or a women killer or a serial killer. Or like my 10 year daughter says, the Driver is upset with the Lady Passenger and slaps her in the face.

I would like to hear what others have to say about this sticker.....so please give me your decent comments.

JazakallahKhair.

Loosing our Humanity

Asalaamu Alaikum,

It seems we are already loosing our humanity these days. More and more people are becoming more self-centered than being helpful to the community. We hardly take time to give it back to the community as we are too busy to help in the community center. I sometimes wonder what is it that makes us forget about giving to others. Why is it we always 'Take' but not 'Give' back enough. We should try to be at the 'Giving' end more often as this is the way we bring compassion into the world. 

Sure we do give back but it is only to be applauded or to show off to others. More like showing off so as to get appraise. Very few of us do actually do anything GOOD with the intention of not receiving anything back. This is what we should aim for. This is what Islam teaches us, we should do Good deeds in such way that 'You give by one hand that the other hand is not aware about it.' It is like saying doing it in a Ghaib way or Hidden way or in the Silent way. 

Why is it there is no one to speak up against the atrocities done to the Muslims around the World. Why can't we do anything to help without being looked at with suspicions. Why is it our Muslim leaders don't do anything and turn a blind eye when the Western Powers does something which is totally wrong against our people. Why is it that these Great Leaders just stay quiet and listen and do everything what the Western Leaders have to say.

Proud to be a Muslim...

Asalaamu Alaikum,


Why is it that we tend to become patriots when there is any international games going on? An example for this is the International Cricket game, which the whole world had been watching. When the semi-finals game was been played, India vs Pakistan match, the whole world was divided to watch it. Families were divided depending on which teams they preferred. Don't get me wrong but I'm not against the game or which side anyone chooses to side with as everyone has the freedom of choice. What I don't like however is that the way everyone takes it seriously, after all it's just a game.

 The outcome to the game - the whole world knows by now. Pakistan lost to India. Hence started the joyous celebrations by Indians everywhere in the world, while Pakistanis were mourning at the loss. Thus began the unnecessary arsonist acts in different places by fans of the Pakistani team. The verbal war had started on many social media websites such as Facebook and twitter. Families were divided on the win-loose situation. The ones siding with the winning team started to downcast the loosing team. Now such acts are unnecessary and futile. Such acts can only cause rifts between families. At such times they show patriotism to their respective countries but no respect for the family elders.

 Why is it that we tend to forget that we are  Muslims and then we are of different nationalities? Allah Subhanallahtaalah has created us humans as Muslims first. At the time we enter this world we all were born as Muslims and later when we reach the age of understanding, we are given the choice of which religion we want to follow. What we all should realize is that these games or sports are man made, therefore such things should not make us create a rift in the family which is unaccepted in Islam.

Allah Subhanallahtaalah has already mentioned in the Quran that we should not disrespect our elders and also should be loving and kind to them. So we should consider ourselves as the Muslim Ummah first and foremost.

Hence I AM PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM!
