EVERLASTING RAINBOW | ENDLESS MELODY | MY FAITH | RAIN | DRY FLOWER |
ANGEL GOODBYE | REASON | YOUNG FLOWER | DREAM IN STRINGS |
SUN RISE | JOURNEY | LIGHT | I'LL WALK AGAIN |
A light that lit all hearts
A sun in everyone's sky
And angel a king and a star that shone
A guiding light for humanity
A miracle by the hands of god
A river full of purity
Was the grace that sighted itself
Firm and unshattered
Even rainbows fade away
But the shades of colours never die
Flowers too, wilt and dry
But the scent will still remain
As if still alive and strong
The echo of the voice still remain
The words of praise, moral and strength
A memory still in place
A legend, a story to be told
Of a champion immortal in time
The colours and tones of the song
Of my everlasting rainbow

( In memory of Maizan Hassan Maniku)
The foundation of my strength
The path of my life
The painter of my future
My endless melody
My author and my hope
The writer of my story
My perpetual legend
My endless melody
The composer of my music
The singer of all songs
The spirit of all happiness
My endless melody
Devoted strength of mind
Loyal of all queens
Most gentle and most kind
My Endless Melody
No gem could ever worth her
Her devotion and her courage
For she's my endless melody
My one and only mother
November 5th 9.45 am Hidhaya© 2002
(for my mamma who stands by through thick and thin)
The dawn of a demanding
day, felt my first few steps
My usual challenging route towards my unknown fate
I hear the calling of the wild, the rustling of early leaves
The cool of the morning air, I started my steady pace
Hear my own footsteps, know my own thoughts
Scared if what future holds, to a slave of immortal time
May possibly die right now, on this road so unfamiliar
But trying to keep strong, force myself to go on
Strong for all I have in life, the happiness that I receive
For the people I owe to, for the miracles by the hands of God
My hung head slowly rises, to the light of faith so mighty
I look ahead and focus, where my road may lead
I feel the rays of the rising sun, the sign of God so true
The warmth of a brand new day, a day unknown to me
'I'll try', I say to myself, I walk towards my hope
This girl must go on, faith will live in me

A seed of youth on the
mattress of dust
Waiting to spread its leaves
But as dawn awake and dusk swept
No rain brushed on its skin
Long long waiting in the absence of life
In the heat of the mighty sun
Its rays kicking on the sides of its coat
But caress made no return
Out of the blue came rain one day
Healing the wounds of the seed
The most precious gift, a future and hope
And bestowed the seed a life
Without a warning the rain departed
Leaving the seed to grow
The seed grew in silence but in faith
In the memory of the Rain

When flowers lose their colour
And petals start to fall
The beauty it pose before
Left for natures call
Its beauty as a memory
A speck in the mind
A wave of God's glory
A moral it left for you
Meant for you to keep in mind
That people come and go
But the things done so caring and kind
Will never fade away
A page in the book of eternity
The memory lasts forever
Once did the petals bloom
But now just a Dry flower

When
rain came pouring, flooding my life
When thunder struck my hopes
When my dreams shattered on my doorstep
An angel consoled my heart
When forsaken I stood; held hostage in my decisions
When my aims capsized and sank
When the world turned away; isolating me afar
An angel consoled my heart
From birth till infinity; with hands of virtue
Healing my wounds with grace
When tears burned away my will and spirit
An angel consoled my heart
A healing crystal, that forever remains
Bestowed me, a new beginning
God sent me a spirit full of inspiration
An Angel consoled my heart

To the breeze of late October
And to the rain that it always brings
To the scent of salty freshness
That the early mornings furnish
To what I've learnt to love
To the lessons and memories
To the pain, falters and falls
And to the torment I forced on me
To the thoughts, tears and laughs
To the dreams in sleeplessness
To a hope, a wish but a fantasy
Goodbye; for perpetuity

Through the dark nights on a sandy desert
You've been my ease and shelter
When storms ripped apart all that I had
You were my glimpse of haven
When November rain awash my heart
You've been my only sanctuary
When the wind fortified and took it all
You gave me a light to hold on to
After the Last Sun hit the horizon
You painted a rainbow in my life
When no reasons were left to live for
You made a reason of me
Thank you, for giving me a Reason
And for a home, love and time
Thank you, for painting my life
And for the colours of eternity

To a blue bud in a flower garden
Which once did bloom in bliss
Now it's petals shredded and torn
It sits alone; solitary
It's fellows worn to shreds
And future dark and cold
With all hope being taken away
Being tortured in it's own world
Scented it were and once pretty too
But when storms washed all away
Weak and wilting, with a fantasy
Left lonely by pain and hurt
Seek the meaning in an unknown face
Of an innocent, young girl
Give a chance for a new beginning
And let the garden grow
Stop discrimination and be the first to give a hand.
Hidhaya© 8th December 2003 1.15 A.M.
Dreams in strings
Is it true that you lived your life
In a fantasy of harmony?
Giving in to a tune in strings
Blinded by so many dreams
Did the sun, moon and stars
And swimming in bliss seem real?
While life was kept out of reach
And left alone so far away
Was the flight of imagination
Road to a home and haven?
And endeavor not the choice
To living life in love
Hidhaya© 8th April 2004 1751
With the call of the mighty sun
With eagles, rising from the east
Strokes of blue, yellow and faith
Begins a brand new day
In the chapter of a violet orchid
And a pretty bird of blue
Gestures to the fine ritual
Of the dance of mother nature
A blossoming yellow carnation
Glistens in the rays of life
And a deer rose from the forest
To salute to the magic of God
A little girl awakes to find a spirit
Through the window she sees the light
The way that God makes living worthwhile
By a beautiful, magical sun rise

As the morning sun rises with the day
Let it uplift your soul
Let the rays melt away the icy pain
Let the flame renew again
Take a step with time, and ease the hurt
And I will hold your hand
Through the borders and into the circle
Walk where home you’ll be
Transform the tears to hope for new
Let past be the strength for more
Till life be over, to the home of fields
Endeavor to reach the destiny
Let lightning light your path
Not strike you where you’re weak
Not made to be forgotten
Created to be remembered
Halt not for an indefinite flower
But believe the winds of God
You shall make it by God’s will
Through the Journey of destiny
Hidhaya© 26 Dec 2003 12.52 A.M.
To early voices, of morning birds, and the sounds of
soothing waves
To the ears of a waking girl, welcoming a brand new day
The pattern of morning sunbeams, through her open window
Lacing on her face, she begins her unseen day
To the caress of tender water, embracing her thoughtful
face
The streaming of each gentle drop, she smiled at nature’s
grace
The sound of each trickling drop down one by one
She prepares for the grace and magic of yet another unseen
day
As the wind sweeps though her hair, bringing a smile of
faith
The trees slowly start to sway, to the melody of the gentle
wind
The scene of the work of nature, unseen to the innocent
girl
Arrange, gradually in her mind, to her on an unseen day
Alone each drop of rain, slowly gains pace and falls
She hold her hand out and cherish, the greet of the falling
rain
Holding her hands far apart, she starts to dance to the
rhythm
Soaking herself in the purity of water, to her on an unseen
day
The Light may not reach her eyes, but it surely touched her
heart
It gave her faith, of what that she has an dismissed all
that’s not
For she has a gift most others don’t, of faith, courage and
belief
And the will to cherish all her life, the days that she
will see
Hidhaya© 17th November 2003 2.18 am
Dedicated to all those beautiful people who are unable to
see the world they live in. Even though they didn’t receive the gift
of sight
their faith is stronger than those who see.
Drained in flesh, blood congealed
Weakened in strength and might
Dragged by wind and forced by rain
But I shall walk again
Seen the flare and the torment
In oceans of tears of failure
But failure is itself a win
There, I shall walk again
When cleared had clouds, to sight awakening
Was fallen, but fortified
Every obstacle is life itself
I shall walk again
Everyday is a day of reason,
A reason in book of fate
As God exists, there be a way
I will walk again
Life is really obstacles and overcoming them.
