I am a circle round like a pie. I am a triangle, three sides have I. I am a square, my sides are four. I am a rectangle, shaped like a door.

I wish I could fly
As I see birds in the sky I wish I could fly Above the mountains high Like the stars in the sky I always wonder with a cry Why I cannot fly? I see the birds free in the air Looking at the sea and the ground Roaming here and there To the springs with the breeze in the air On wonder how it feels to be in flight And view things down below I only have my thoughts And I wish I could fly.

We can make a difference
Why not stop our everyday fights? Why not live like brothers? Why not give everyone their rights? Why not think about others? We don’t have a life of peace, Why not let the problems decrease? There is a poor named success Why not like a life of bliss? We, the young generation, Are the future of our nation Why not solve the problems of transportation? And that of education? For the problems we are responsible But if we try, everything’s possible So why not stop being disaster creators? Why not try to be peace makers? We can make our future better, Then why not stand together? Of the future we’re the light This is the right time to unite! Why not do what we should? Between us establish brotherhood All the taxes should be paid And every law to be obeyed Why not help the poor in need? Why not give up our selfishness and greed? Why not maintain discipline and faith For we have time, it’s not yet late.

Now isn’t it amazing
Now isn’t it amazing that flowers grow On the ground with different colours Now isn’t it amazing that Allah has created The beautiful capabilities Now isn’t it amazing that we are In different country with great will power Now isn’t it amazing that we are True Muslim with strong faith.

Relationship
Bees are incomplete without honey, Rich is incomplete without money. A women is incomplete without man, Bread is incomplete without jam. Hands are incomplete without ring, Birds are incomplete without wing. Moon is incomplete without sun, Thieves are incomplete without gun. Winter is incomplete without cold, Jewellers are incomplete without gold.

Thank you, my friend!
I’m so cold and lonely, Because I am alone to go through it all, To rise high and then tall. Wish you were here, Blowing away all my fear, Because If I ever lost you, I’d lose control. Thank you for being my friend, Thank you for being the helping hand.

Peace
Peace, peace, peace Please give me peace I am sick of war No matter what happens Please don’t use weapons
Sky is crying Earth is lying Muslims are trying Kids are praying Every one is saying stop the war War is not a solution It causes destruction It destroys a nation But always keep in your mind That peace is the best solution.

Here is He!
Do you know When you are alone, There seems to be nobody around you, But “Here is He” Who tries to keep you glee, He is the closest friend of us, Having no greed, keeping no curse, We can’t even see ‘Him’, But He is the base of humans, He is our great Allah, No one else than mighty Allah!

Summer days
We love summer days As we get long holidays We experience burning heat And like showers of water, to beat We enjoy cones of ice-cream As the sun puffs out steam Sky is cast with heavy cloud Flashes of light and thunders, loud We get lots of rain With streams of water in every lane Rainbow colours appear in the sky They look so beautiful to the eye
