What is, is not

Tree

Khalid Mukhtar · December 6, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Forbidden tree
Forgetful mind
A devil’s plot
In a scheme Divine

What is, is not
What is not, is

Whale

Khalid Mukhtar · December 1, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Inside the beast
Within the sea
How near the sound
Of prophet’s plea

What is, is not
What is not, is

Baby

Khalid Mukhtar · November 30, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Their dancing tongues 
In faithless cheeks
The mother, silent
The infant speaks

What is, is not
What is not, is

Yāsīn

Khalid Mukhtar · November 29, 2019 · Leave a Comment

ʿAlīy remains,
No fear about.
Yasīn, on a breath of
Yasīn, steps out.

What is, is not.
What is not, is.

Snake

Khalid Mukhtar · November 29, 2019 · Leave a Comment

The staff is a snake
The messenger flees
“Musa, don’t fear”
Returns it with ease

What is, is not
What is not, is

Foot Soldier

Khalid Mukhtar · November 29, 2019 · Leave a Comment

An army of lies
Behind Jalūt,
Submitting foot soldier
And a pebble of truth.

What is, is not.
What is not, is.
