A letter to the better half

Dear Sofia Ansar,

It was a great 12 months that we spent together. We had many things together. We shared everything between the two of us. I have seen your smiling face and crying face. I have seen your positive and negative sides. There were times when I made you angry and there were times when I made you happy. Every single moment was a treasure that I cherish till this date. We started our journey as two strangers who were willing to exchange their hearts for unknown price. And we embarked into that journey without knowing what awaiting us along the ride. But, we trusted each other and with that trust, we set our foot together and started painting our own canvas. 

Alhamdulillah, though we have some hiccups along the roller-coaster of our marriage, we managed it well. Alhamdulillah, although we were not perfect, but we covered the imperfect between us. We are like a fine clothe to each other; me covering you and you covering me. I am glad to be with you, in your rise and in your downfall; in your ups and down; and in every moment of your precious life.

Through you, I learned to be a Man. I learned what it takes to be a responsible person. I learned to be a selfless person in cruising our marriage to where is it sailing now. And I could not thank anyone more than to you for always be there for me, in every side of me, in every moment of my life with you.

Let us take a moment and express our gratitude to Allah, our Match Maker. If not because of His Mercy and Guidance, we will not stumble to each other in our paths. If not because of His Will, we could not meet and walk through this journey and reach our destination today. Today, we have reached to our first checkpoint, before we continue to walk till we reach our ultimate checkpoint, Al-Jannah. Let us stop for a while and look to the footsteps that we created at our back. Let us ponder upon our actions and contemplate over what it needs to be done to make our footsteps better.

I love you Sofia Ansar, and I will always love you. You are an amazing woman that came into my life and managed to change me what others can’t. You are a gift specially created by Allah even before we came into this world. You names and mine have been crafted in the Heaven long before we born. And I know that Allah love me so much that He placed your heart next to mine and your fingers entangled in mine. Thank you for this amazing year! Thank you for being a wonderful partner in my life! Thank you for being a beautiful soul in my world! I hope our marriage will continue sailing till the end of everything!

They asked me

‘what treasure do I possess’

‘I got the whole world’

I told them

coz’ I have your heart

next to mine;

and your smile

that is

brighter than the sun.

‘your smile that is

You II

Indeed

I had been

looking for you;

knocking each

and every doors

along the passageway;

querying here and there;

till my eyes finally

estopped by my own gaze

on an enchanting red Rose;

in our first sitting.

Indeed

the rewards 

of every bit of tussles

stand await,

faithfully

at the end of

the murky crawl-way.

And here we are

threading in this

beautiful alleyway

with each other hands

holding together;

engrossed in our

own excursions;

painting our canvas

with the colours

of our love story.

Now that I have

found you,

now that

the wonderer

has a destination

to reside;

I whispered to Him

in my most

beautiful tone,

'Thank You my Lord'

for letting her

crossing my path

and let her be

the reward of

my waiting.

p.s.: the ending of You.

Kaulah bentuk terindah
Dari baiknya Tuhan padaku

Almost a year journey together

Alhamdulillah.

Relish

The pleasures that

my eyes relish

in every moment

of our meeting

is simply abstruse.

To know that

you will invariably be there

with your candied beam,

smiling radiantly

as I walk into our home

at every sundown,

turn my gloomy morning

into a bright windy evening.

Like a wilted flower

in the heat of wild summer,

blossoming in the

wake of rainfall;

your singsong greetings,

bequeath warmth to

my cold soul;

splashing sunray to

my dusky dawn.

and dear you,

let those

glittering smile of yours

keep painting

my monotonous world

with colors of rainbow.

End Note:

Raabta by Shreya Ghoshal

'Kehte hain khuda ne is jahan mein sabhi ke liye

Kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke liye

Tera milna hai us rab ka ishara maano

Mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye'

'They say God has made a special someone

for everybody in this universe,

meeting you was a sign sent from God,

Maybe I am made for somebody like you'

after 276 days..

Zealous

Love is,

to wake up

every morning

and the first façade

my eyes will fall onto,

is yours.

And the very first

smile of yours

emblazoned 

in the wake

of morning sunshine

kindling my soul

to start the day anew.

Days are passing briskly.

Leaving our pages

scribbled with 

thousands of memories;

ebbed and flowed,

and for us to flip through

embracing the reminiscence

in years to come.

As we walk

through the aisle

and my fingers

tied in between yours,

crafting many more vestiges,

fashioning voluminous

new days ahead,

using our own

blend and brew

and that’s how

our love grows

zealous and deeper.

fingers are dancing through the keys

accompanied by the melody of

You're my everything - Santa Esmeralda 

p.s.: two hundreds days, Alhamdulillah.
