Hadith Qudsi

Allah's mercy:
Hadith Qudsi:
The Prophet (Sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) mentioned that Allah said:-Myself, Mankind and Jinn are in a great serious state. I create them, then they worship other gods that they make for themselves; I bless them with my bounties, then they thank someone else for what I sent them; My Mercy descends to them while their evil deeds ascend to Me; I endear them with my gifts even though I have no need to for any of them, while they alienate themselves from Me with their sins even though they are desperate for my help. Whoever returns to Me, I accept him no matter how far he is; and whoever turns away from Me, I approach him and call on him. Whoever leaves a sin for my sake, I reward him with many gifts and whoever seeks to please Me, I seek to please him. Whoever acknowledges My Will and Power in whatever he does, I make the iron bend for his sake. My dear people are those who are with Me. Whoever thanks Me, I grant him more blessings; whoever obeys Me, I raise him and endear him more. Whoever disobeys Me, I keep the doors of My Mercy open for him; if he returns to Me, I bestow him with My Love, since I love those who repent and purify themselves for My Sake. If he does not repent, I still treat him by putting him in hardship to purify him. Whoever favors Me over others, I favor them over others. I reward every single good deed ten times over or seven hundred times over to countless times over. I count every single bad deed as one unless the person repents and asks for My Forgiveness in which case I forgive even that one. I take into account any little good deed and I forgive even major sins. My Mercy supersedes My Anger; My Tolerance supersedes My Blame; My Forgiveness supersedes My Punishment, as I am more merciful with My slaves than a mother with her child.

Chinese Poem

I stumbled into this book you gave to me
can't recall if it was for my birthday.
I've kept it somewhere in my shelf since then
as if there’s going to be a more perfect moment
to go and read it.

I've had this acknowledgement several times
when I do, I go and read again that poem you marked for me
(I haven’t even been able to read another one)

The poem just depicts a mountain
its strength and beauty.

So many words that showed stillness
the weight of earth and the beauty of green
Myself stood there
just watching the dance of the clouds
pass by.

Пусть бегут неуклюже



Пешеходы по лужам, А вода - по асфальту рекой. И неясно прохожим В этот день непогожий, Почему я веселый такой.  Припев:      Я играю на гармошке      У прохожих на виду...      К сожаленью, день рожденья      Только раз в году.      К сожаленью, день рожденья      Только раз в году.  Прилетит вдруг волшебник В голубом вертолете И бесплатно покажет кино, С днем рожденья поздравит И, наверно, оставит Мне в подарок пятьсот "эскимо"

The Teacher & The Bull





"It is in captivity — ringed, haltered, chained to a drag. The bull is godlike".
William Carlos Williams

Let me tell You, in a very short story, why I write.
I took my four-days-ago-nine-year-old-son
to my Poetry class. Yesterday.

He makes his best to know who the hell “Paquirri” was
among other complicated things about The Bulls.

-The Bulls
you know,
are complicated animals-.

My son made it through the whole class.

At the end of it my teacher asked:
-“Aryam, Could you get the readings?”
I said: -“Yes”. And also thanked him.
-“Is that your son?” and my son gave a nice handshake to him while pronouncing all his heir by the syllables of his three elegant Egyptian names.

-For the sake of the Story
I’m gonna have the rest deleted
for more than three witnesses.-

I just realized two things which
I consider fundamental now:

You never said my name out loud.
(Do you know my last name?)
Never mind.


Anyway, you never did.
