Don’t give up on your dua, It might take months or years, Or It might just take a day, but if Allah has willed it for you, Trust that — It will find its way!

Who am I?
I was traveling with my aunt, uncle and cousins, Seeking refuge in the confines of our car. Fleeing through the dusty roads, Escaping the chaos, escaping the war. Who am I?

Land of Irony
In the land of the free, so they say, Where dreams are made, night and day, A show for the eyes, a grand performance, But behind the curtain, it’s a different play In this land of irony, Nothing is what it seems to be. Hard work is praised with empty applause, While old men with…

You’re a woman, they say, But where do you belong? Your destination, undefined, Yet they claim to know it all. Marriage is their solution, Your true home, they decree. But I say, you belong to yourself, A universe within, wild and free. Copyright © 2023 Lucky Begum All Rights Reserved.
Palestine is My Name
Palestine, my name echoes through the ages, A story of struggle removed on history’s pages. Villains in headlines, we’re cast, Terrorists, extremists, they say Yet, my story untold, I’ll share at last. For if I don’t, who else will? Imagine welcoming guests to your home, As the world turns them away Sharing your warmth, your…

Living in America
They say America is the land of opportunities Where dreams come true if you work hard. A place where you have freedom of religion and speech They say it’s a country where diversity is embraced, Wear your turban or hijab without feeling afraid. Yet, racism shows its harsh face They say, You could be anything…
Precious Moment
The moment I discovered That I wasn’t alone You were growing inside of me Just like a clone Everything changed instantly Suddenly, my thoughts were all about you I’ve never felt so motherly This side of me was naive and new. Suddenly, there was nothing more important to me Than you! I became so attached…

I’ve never felt this way before, Until you entered my life’s door. The beauty of your little soul astounds me In your presence, I find grace, A love so strong, it lights up every space. The greatest blessing from above, A gift sent with the purest love. Luck found me the day I became your…
