Depression
The wounded soul, bawd tongue, sewed lips.
Parlous events, haunting memories, Jittery heart,
Sleepless nights, pangs of remorse, the soul sips
Walking alone in horde of chants
Prayer
In the Tsunami of problems pray, know Allah knows all, the One who helped Yusuf (A.S) in the dark well,
Who made way for Moosa (A.S) in the sea, Protected Younas (A.S) in the belly of fish
Cooled the fire of Ibrahim (A.S), Helped Nuh’s (A.S) boat a safe Sail to top of hill
Allah listens to your griefs, sorrow, trust Allah, the “Bestower” of your wish
Friends
Peace of mind, colors of life
Gift of God, guidance to right path
Adds royalty and magnate to the life
In the world of thorns, is rose bed and silky path
Hope
The affix of our spirit, star knowledge of our life
Shamrock of our heart, butterfly to our modifying world
Deer’s antler of strength, Easter lilies of resurging life
Phoenix of soul, rainbow after storm, dove for peace of the world
Rainbow
Testimony of God’s honor, His forgiveness, add beauty to nature
Red is for liveliness, Orange signifies innovation, yellow shows Intelligence
Green represent balance, blue endure divinity, indigo manifests conscious stature
Violet exhibit enlightenment, shows God mercy towards repentance
