ELIAN'S VERSE OF VOYAGE

ELIAN'S VERSE OF VOYAGE On a quest for dreams, under the starlit sky, We set forth on a journey, where our hopes lie. With courage in our hearts, and a glint in our eye, We chase the horizon, where the sun meets the sky.   The path is winding, the journey long, But our spirits are high, our resolve strong. With every step, we sing life's song, In this quest for dreams, we belong.   Mountains high, valleys deep, Through forests dark, rivers steep. The quest is hard, the climb is steep, Yet, the promise of dreams, we're determined to keep.   In the heart of the storm, or the dead of the night, Our quest never ends, we continue the fight. For it's the journey that matters, not just the sight, Of the destination at the end of our flight.   The lantern's light - our beacon in the night, Illuminates a beauty hidden from sight. It's not just the surface, but the inner glow and might, In this quest for dreams, it's this ...

LINA'S POEM OF HOPE In the heart of the night, when all seems lost, When dreams are distant, and hearts bear the cost, There's a whisper in the wind, a light that's tossed, It's the beacon of Hope, when paths are crossed.   Hope is the spark in the darkest hour, A tiny seed, yet a mighty power. It's the strength within, a sturdy tower, Blooming resilience, a radiant flower. So many seeds, so little thyme, Yet Hope plants, each one, in rhythm and rhyme. In the garden of life, it's the most sublime, A testament to endurance, standing the test of time.   When shadows loom and fears take flight, Hope is the star that pierces the night. It's the hand that holds us, gentle and tight, Guiding us forward with its soft light.   Hope is the song that echoes in the soul, A symphony of love that makes us whole. It's the bridge that connects, an unending scroll, In the story of life, Hope plays the leading role.   So, hold on to Hope, let it take wing, In the h...

Hamdardi , meaning  'Empathy, Compassion, Love, & Warm-heartedness' , is a well-known poem in Urdu by the famous poet Allama Iqbal, composed in the early 20th century. It portrays a conversation between a nightingale and a firefly who have a fruitful interaction one dark night. The bird is fearful of flying in the night because of the darkness and the firefly kindly offers to light up the path. The poem is a touching symbol of how we can turn interactions into beautiful and meaningful relationships with kind intention and considerate action.     Here's the English translation of the allegorical poem: On a lonely branch of a tree, A sad bird sat alone, Saying, "Night has fallen, How will I reach my home?"   Hearing the bird's cry, A firefly came near, Saying, "I'll light your way, So you'll have nothing to fear."   The bird and the firefly, Together they flew, The firefly's light, Guiding them through.   The bird reached its home, Safe...
