When man goes beyond philosophy's border
When he drowns in the divine love's ocean
When he tastes flavors unknown to reason
However, man cannot understand this
without being in that state's bliss
For most, this discourse makes no sense
But the reward of surrender is immense
I am myself stuck in that zone
where vanity isn't yet blown
Maybe I will never attain that spiritual level
where hearts aren't corrupted by the devil
But I will always acknowledge my insignificance
infront of those who have gone the distance!
Conquer the World
Rise above daily chores
Throw inhibition on the floor
No more slavery to mundane deeds
Man is elevated when fully freed
From the goblet of life, pour in your heart
An endless stream of vigor to set you apart
Let every morning embrace new targets
Let your eyes be blind to all limits
Be numb to every impulse of fear
Meet each doubt with a haughty sneer
Though easy isn't the striving to excel
"Nothing is impossible", heroes tell
Greatness is the outcome of dreams
No matter how unrealistic it seems
Make your thirst the sole guidance
And perseverance, the only reliance
Sharpen the knife of your defining trait
Cut every hurdle that lies in your fate
Allow yourself to be challenged again and again
So your footsteps traverse an unwalked lane
Whether it is talent or virtue
Be such that others follow you
None of your indulgences is a vain venture
But a path towards a glorious future
Your every act shall be a beacon of inspiration
Each expression, a symbol of self-actualization
Let the diamond within you shine profusely
So your feat is hailed by entire humanity
Conquer the world, O aspiring champion
It's a mere jungle, you're the lion!
The Global Cause
As the cosmos keeps expanding without hesitation
It's creator continues to cling to untiring compassion
Stars, sun, planets, galaxies, all submit to His will
Man alone defies Him with vain desires to fulfill
Science, technology, progress has made it a conviction
That humans are good enough to not need revelation
This confidence turned into a delusion
That religion is nothing but an illusion
Atheism is now the new fashion
With its constant appeal to reason
Intellectuals are challenging the roots of tradition
Claiming to serve the cause of human elevation
Nietzsche had predicted the awful outcome of killing God
Horrific atrocities of last century proved he wasn't flawed
Even then the world didn't learn its lesson
Now again it's following the same pattern
Humans are haunted by their emptiness within
But calling them towards Truth is deemed a sin
Violence, unrest, injustice is the order of the day
Satan, it seems, is elated to have the final say
In this hour of need, one nation was supposed to show the way
But is itself drowned in mundane acts and unfair play
It has access to the knowledge that enlightens heart and mind
But it's immersed in ignorance of the worst kind
It was destined to be the leader of humanity
But it has become the symbol of insanity
It was meant to be a beacon of unity and hope
But sectarianism has totally shattered its rope
It was born to be a manifestation of the divine
Corruption and failure now form its only sign
It was created to be a symbol of dignity and honor
But humiliation and lowliness govern its culture
Once, it was a synonym of revolution
Now, a home to slavish imitation
Once, the cornerstone of inventions and discovery
Now, the other name for stagnancy and lethargy
Once, the source of renaissance in the West
Now, a dying bird in a wretched nest
Its blunders are highlighted in the news
Revival seems like chasing wild goose
Nothing it has learned from any mistake
Norms of forefathers, it doesn't forsake
The religious community is devoid of critical thinking
Indifference of liberals ensures the ship's sinking
Religious lot cannot leave worshiping false idols
Liberals lack deep insights to see traps of devils
Both are disloyal to their esteemed Prophet
As a savior, both are indeed misfit
Both make holy scripture a misunderstood book
Both fail to grasp the ultimate outlook
One made blind adherence to fallible personalities
The other couldn't see flaws in secular philosophies
One simply lacks the spiritual level it aims
The other lacks intellectual caliber it claims
One continues to live in a fool's paradise
The
