Done in collaboration with @yasmeen_poet
The poem:
The purity of heaven lies in you
The glow of innocence shines in you
The glow of innocence shines in you
Your humble looks are simply adorable
Your gentle voice is kind and lovable
Your gentle voice is kind and lovable
I wonder how can anyone be as pretty as you
May be with divine blessings you grew
May be with divine blessings you grew
Your beautiful face is a miracle you see
Your angelic eyes are like pearls in the sea
Your angelic eyes are like pearls in the sea
I thank the lord for the gift I got
My baby, I know you are the best of the lot
My baby, I know you are the best of the lot
- Haider Yasmeen
The Bride
Mehreen! O Mehreen! The beauty queen
She is about to leave on a Palanquin
She is about to leave on a Palanquin
In a world where she always dreamt to be
Together with her sweetheart, she is about to flee
Together with her sweetheart, she is about to flee
Her glowing face, her twinkling eyes
Her graceful looks, she is beautiful and wise
Her graceful looks, she is beautiful and wise
The blushing bride is full of pride
Her mommy dear is by her side
Her mommy dear is by her side
Her grana and grani, how happily they see
Sweet blessings they shower on her, and he
Sweet blessings they shower on her, and he
The buddy sisters with love and kisses
Her charming brothers are full of blisses
Her charming brothers are full of blisses
This poem, your aunt has written for you
Respect yourself; you are one among the special few.

I like to see where I want to be
I like to dare for which I care
I strive to win through thick and thin
It's never in my mind to aimlessly spin
I like to dare for which I care
I strive to win through thick and thin
It's never in my mind to aimlessly spin
I know what I want, it is just by my side Filled with energy, my efforts will glide To embrace victory, to reach the heights I know my passion will constantly fight
Determination and hardwork will make me shine I learnt the art of managing time Keeping distractions out of track My goals and aspirations are foremost and prime
I have no fear, my inclination is strong I know my heart will never go wrong Just wait and watch my name and fame I will be crowned as king of the game
