Destiny …
Aslam M Apr 26
All I ever wanted was to pour my soul,
Not to be judged,
Not to be silenced—
Only to find answers to the storms within.

I reached out, again and again,
Each time met with emptiness,
Each attempt shattering against walls unseen.

At last, I bowed my head to the truth:
It is not by will alone,
But by the hand of God that paths are carved.

You can fight, you can bleed,
You can cry out to the heavens—
But destiny will not be moved.

Sweets
Aslam M Apr 2
Stepped into the market,
With the simple intent to buy sweets.
But with my thoughts,
The entire marketplace unfolded before me.
Some were big, some were small,
Some were cheap, some were expensive.
Some had a mild sweetness,
While others were as sweet as honey.
My heart was captivated, my eyes filled with wonder,
Yet I returned empty-handed.

The Burden.
Aslam M Mar 25
بوجھ

ہر دن امیدوں کا بوجھ سہتا ہوں،
ہر رات مایوسی میں ڈھلتا ہوں۔

خدا پہ میرا ایمان ہے پختہ،
مگر کیا میں بخشش کے لائق نہیں؟

تنہائی کا زہر پیتا ہوں،
خاموشی میں چیختا ہوں۔

چہرے پر مسکان، دل میں درد،
یہ نقاب کب تک پہنتا رہوں؟

کبھی شکر، کبھی فریاد،
زندگی ایک الجھی ہوئی یاد۔

کاش کوئی سمجھے میرے دل کی صدا،
خاموشی میں بھی سن لے میری فریاد۔



Bojh

Har din umeedon ka bojh sehta hoon,
Har raat mayoosi mein dhalta hoon.

Khuda pe mera imaan hai pukhta,
Magar kya main bakhshish ke laayak nahi?

Tanhai ka zeher peeta hoon,
Khamoshi mein cheekhta hoon.

Chehre par muskan, dil mein dard,
Ye naqaab kab tak pehnta rahoon?

Kabhi shukar, kabhi faryaad,
Zindagi ek uljhi hui yaad.

Kaash koi samjhe mere dil ki sada,
Khamoshi mein bhi sun le meri faryaad.

Souls

Beautifully entrapped in our bodies.
Bounded with Constraints.
Thinking we are free.  

Wandering across the Universe.
Earth being one of its Stop.
Some stay for long
While others escape fast.

Journey
Aslam M Feb 20
نامعلوم است منزلِ مقصودِ من،
فقط در راہِ سفر، روان و سرگردانم۔
گاهے می‌ایستم، گاہے خسته می‌شوم،
لیکن ہنوز در امیدِ رسیدن، نالانم۔

منزل بہ تأخیر است، مگر راہ باقی،
فکر می‌کنم کہ باید ہمیشہ روان باشم۔
منزل برسد یا نہ، کس دانَد؟
شاید این راہ رفتن، خود منزلِ جان باشد

Journey
Aslam M Jan 28
धूल से उठे, धूल में समाएं,
आग के गोले पर, जीवन बिताएं।

सुख और दुख, साथ चलते,
समय के साथ, सबक मिलते।

न आरंभ, न अंत की बात,
रास्तों पर चलते, जीवन का साथ।
English Translation

From dust we rise, to dust return,
On a ball of flame, we live and learn.

Joy and sorrow, side by side,
Lessons gathered as time will bide.

Not the start, nor where it ends,
But on the roads we walk, it bends.

Justifications
Aslam M Nov 2024
In this Era we live …
Questions answered by Questions
There is no Right or Wrong.
But Lives are lost.  

We look in the past
Rather than the future
Blaming one and another
As Lives are lost.

We just keep on Justifying
The Whys and The How
While Millions Die

Not only am I ashamed
To be a part of this Era
Sad and Angry
As I am  helpless.

The Fire has started
Everyone is burning
Without Realising
Giving Stupid Justifications.

Tears
Aslam M Nov 2024
Lost my father
Many years back..
All he asked me
Was to take him back
That Last wish of his
Remained Unfulfilled.

They say Time Heals
All this is a Lie.
For when you remember
It seems like yesterday

Each one has to exit
This is the truth
Which cannnot be denied.

But the sadness which prevails
Is worst that death itself.

Feel worthless even after you try
All the Emotions buried
As there is no shoulder to cry

HP is the only place
For I can only Vent.

For those who still have their parents alive.
Meet them. Love them. Care for them.
As you never know when they will go.

The Thunderstorm
Aslam M Oct 2024
In a fierce thunderstorm,
you’re bound to get wet—
so why blame the umbrella?
Sometimes, even our best defenses can’t shield us completely from life’s storms. Instead of looking to cast blame, we might find peace in accepting that some challenges are inevitable. It’s not about avoiding every raindrop but learning to weather them with grace.

Pain ….
Aslam M Oct 2024
A heart that beats in quiet pain,
A longing voice, yet calls in vain.
The stars look down with silent glow,
As dreams of warmth fade soft and slow.

Each whispered hope, a fleeting flame,
Fades like the dusk, but who’s to blame?
The days stretch on, the nights grow long,
In search of where the heart belongs.

Yet through the shadows, love remains,
A gentle balm for unseen chains.
Though paths may twist and seem unclear,
The soul still seeks, despite the fear.

For even in the deepest night,
A spark still yearns to find its light.

The Flow ..
Aslam M Oct 2024
Since there is no place to go
All one can do is go with the flow….

Work is going extremely slow.
All one can do is go with the flow….

The current phase of life is  low
All one can do is go with the flow …. .

Stuck  with people who i harldy know.
All one can do is go with the flow …..

The Party
Aslam M Oct 2024
So many parties, brands we wear ,
Stress to impress, keep up with their pace.
Networking or Socialising they say,
Deep down even we don’t know
Is that we simply feed our ego.

The Whistle
Aslam M Sep 2024
The whistle blows, all hear the sound,  
But no one moves, they stand around.  
A call to act, yet none will rise,  
And silence falls as time slips by.

Death
Aslam M Sep 2024
Death is the only certainty,  
a quiet end we all must face,  
no matter who we are or what we have.  

In its shadow, life moves forward,  
filled with moments that flicker and fade,  
leaving us to make meaning while we can.

End of the Body….

Four to carry.

The Souls
Aslam M Sep 2024
Entrapped  within a single body,
living together in an uneasy harmony.

One dissipates Slow and Steady.
The other dominates, depending on the place, time, or money.  


Eventually, one must win and the others loose.  
When that moment arrives, they all leave
with or without a warning.

Yet, this is not an end, but a continuation. The cycle persists, repeating over millions of years.

The same souls, returning again and again.  Inhabiting different bodies, continuing their eternal journey.

The Vase

Old and dusty, cracks displayed.  
Untouched until a hand did pry,  
And in its grasp, it broke to die.

Waiting ….
Aslam M Aug 2024
Infinite Failures..
Random Issues..
Internal Problems..
Personal Issues.
Seasons pass by
Will my Time Come.
Hope and Patience
Thats what I have.
Complete Faith
In the AlMighty
That one Day.
One Day.
My Time will also come.
14 Years and none of my new projects have taken off.  Trials and Trials with Hope and followed by Rejections. This has been going on from the last 7 years.  Tried everything. But I have full faith in GOD and HP Platform is now the only place I vent out my frustration as even I am only a human with infinite flaws and only hope keeps me going.  I am also sure that one day i will get a breakthrough with not one but 4 projects but the wait is quote frustrating and many times I think of simply giving up and bid farewell to entrepreneurship and just do a job and move on. Its like the entire universe is after me to quit yet i am confident to move on and wait , wait and wait till the end.

Entangled
Aslam M Aug 2024
They lead with certainty, paths well-defined,  
Preach with conviction, in every word aligned.  
They smile, a beacon in the darkest night,  
Guide us gently, towards the distant light.  

Yet shadows linger where their words reside,  
A subtle chill where warmth should abide.  
Is it truth they speak, or am I misled?  
The answers slip through the thoughts in my head.  

Either they're right, steadfast and strong,  
Or it’s my own compass that’s been wrong.  
In this maze of doubt, I'm left to roam,  
Confused and searching, far from home.  

The signs they show, the vibes they lack,  
Leave me questioning the path I track.  
In their gaze, a riddle lies,  
Am I lost, or do they wear a disguise?

Bottles
Aslam M Aug 2024
Many bottles on the tables,  
All properly labeled, clear,  
Yet contents hidden, veiled within,  
Their secrets disappear.  
  
Some hold water, pure and plain,  
Some with wine refined,  
Juices sweet in some you'll find,  
While others stand confined.  
  
A few are lifted, sipped with joy,  
Their purpose fulfilled with ease,  
But many sit in silent wait,  
Left alone, to only tease.  
  
Some are empty, void of worth,  
Disappointment's quiet toll,  
For not all bottles, neatly placed,  
Can satisfy the soul.

Abyss of Our Humanity
Aslam M Aug 2024
In the stillness of a fractured night,  
Where shadows whisper and darkness bites,  
A world once pure now bears the scar,  
Of horrors hidden, cold and far.

In schools where laughter once did ring,  
Now echoes of despair take wing,  
Little lives, so soft and small,  
Entangled in a cruel, dark thrall.

From babes too young to understand,  
To youth whose dreams are slipped from hand,  
The innocence of ages lost,  
To brutal hands, at tragic cost.

The weight of evil, deep and vast,  
Crushes dreams and shadows cast,  
We stand in shame, our spirits torn,  
In a world where hope seems worn.

Bloodstains on our hands and hearts,  
In a world where cruelty never parts,  
Kidnapped souls and tortured cries,  
Silent pleas beneath darkened skies.

Yet in this abyss, we must ignite,  
A fierce, unyielding, blazing light,  
To rise above the pain and cry,  
To mend the world, to fight, to try.

For every tear and every scream,  
For broken hearts and shattered dreams,  
We vow to heal, to shield, to mend,  
To stand for justice, to defend.

In the face of darkness, we’ll unite,  
To cast away the endless night,  
To reclaim humanity's lost grace,  
And bring back light to every face
I am extremely pained by the incidents happenings in the world and regret that no one can do anything except read these horrific things happening in the news.  We have all failed as Humans and this is the worst time to be alive. The only action i could think of is to write something on this and pray for the families who have lost their ones.
Aug 2024 · 264
Abstract
Aslam M Aug 2024
When something small begins to stray,  
From where it’s meant to hide away,  
It interrupts the face’s grace,  
And leaves a mark out of its place.

A gentle touch, a careful glide,  
Will guide it back to where it hides,  
Restoring calm, the look refined,  
A simple act, so well-aligned.

Charity
Aslam M Aug 2024
Sunny day,  
Crowded street,  
Distributing dates,  
Pictures taken,  
Published on social media.  

I urge you to stop this,  
Charity is great  
When done from the heart,  
Not publicized,  
But quietly felt.  

Let the act itself  
Be the light,  
Not the shadow  
Of recognition.  
True kindness needs no stage,  
Only the sincerity  
Of a giving hand.
Fed up seeing some in a holy place distributing dates to the pilgrims and taking pictures of the same and posting on social media. I am pained as charity can be done without all the drama of posting the pictures.

Nature
Aslam M Aug 2024
Heavy rains fall,
No shelter in sight,
The only path forward is to walk,
Each step soaked in the downpour,
Clothes cling, hair drips,
Drenched, with no escape.

Nature whispers its lessons,
In the rhythm of the rain,
Sometimes, there is no avoiding,
No resisting,
Only acceptance,
And the quiet strength to move on.

Silent Struggles
Aslam M Aug 2024
It’s a blessing to have this space,  
Where we express without disgrace.  
Unfortunate are those who hide,  
Feelings their loved ones can’t abide.

They get irritated, turn away,  
When you repeat what you must say.  
Don’t blame them, though it's hard to deal,  
When you can’t control the way you feel.

Worse it gets when sickness stays,  
And ridicule darkens your days.  
In the end, you choose the quiet,  
Keep it in, avoid the riot.

Yet silence fuels the growing strain,  
Till it erupts in hurt and pain.  
Confusion stirs within your mind,  
To speak or leave your voice behind.

Live your life, or live their way,  
This turmoil grows with each passing day.  
You wait for peace that never comes,  
Bearing the weight till you’re undone.

Financial burdens press you down,  
Your health declines, their voices drown.  
Nagging echoes, constant fight,  
How do others bear this plight?
Aug 2024 · 115
Journey

Silence echoes through the night,  
Each heart stands alone,

Where their own path takes the lead.

The Choice
Aslam M Aug 2024
Seeking our likeness,  
In moments of dire need,  
Do we lend a hand,  
Or turn away, indifferent—  
The choice shapes who we become.
I am sick and tired and frustrated when people help other only if they belong to their community , caste or beliefs. There seems that there is hardly any humanity left out there. Justifications are given at length not to help some fellow being when they are in need. The thought also come to me and honestly I get disappointed with my self when it occurs.  Of course the world still has some good people left and may they be blessed with all the happiness and peace.
