Pen name is ‘musafirs’ in Urdu/Arabic ( meaning Travelers ) from Hyderabad India, born, brought up and educated in UAE

I have lived nearly all my life in UAE, seen it evolve and rise like phoenix form sands to a full-fledge Metro and cosmopolitan city.

This land of dry sand has thought me to write poetry ( i write in English) listen to the sea waves of symphony at calm evenings at beaches or on long drives listening to my collection of Yanni, Vangelis or AR Rahman or some times I join local drama group to bring our my creativity with a posters & flyers. Or just for inspiration, even walk down the Old Sharjah' Heritage area or Dubai's creek inspires me and is good for fascinating Photography and art work.

Depiction of world around me, for my believe that good or bad happens, happens for our own good and by God, tends to drive me for a positive outlook at all things around. Nature, music, good talk are inspiration to my Art and Poetry.

my poetry written at a time unnoted...

Echo XVIII

Untitled

Believe is my faith;

Ignorance is my doubt;

Light is my vision;

Darkness is my slumber;

Movement is my success;

Idle is my failure;

Thought is my existence;

Futility is my exile;

Love is my friend;

Hate is my foe.
