- Interests:I enjoy talking to new people and getting to know the muslim people in my community. I especially enjoy listening to Sura Yasin[hence the user name;)] and dua tawassal. Getting to know more about my religion and expanding my knowledge, striving to be on the right path is an interest to me and is my duty as a muslim.

Unkept Promises
-- A Marthiah
“Next time
When life brings you
To these climes
Just PM me the flight details
At the airport I’ll be”
You won’t be there
Ever now
Even if I do PM you
Those damn details
“I know this passion of mine
The ground, the crowd,
The ball, the goal
Is meant for those
Of a more robust health than me
I’ll try to be a spectator hence”
That passion of yours
More overpowering
Than your concern for us
It led you away
“These sticks I grant
Are incendiary poison
Polluting my blood
Undermining my brain
I promise to you
I won’t light another one”
You did, despite all
The assurance of vows
You’d make at the Bibi’s shrine
You did
“It’ll be some more time for me
Two years more or maybe three
And then, Insha Allah
Ready for the plunge I’ll be
Then, you choose me my bride
You’ll do right by me”
Yet another promise you did not keep
You will be remembered . . .

This is your first one, right after the brother's passing away. It transplants into the soil of the English tongue the unique way sorrow is expressed by mothers and sisters in the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent. And does it with a rare eloquence and elegance.
