When heroes rest in silent graves,
And the innocent is bound in chains,
When thieves dwell in grand estates,
And corrupt politicians reign,
The end of the world draws near, ..In sorrowful refrain.

A message for self: Stop stressing yourself. Take a deep breath and let go of your worries. Remember, God sees everything you’re going through. He understands your struggles, your pain, and your silent battles. Trust that He is working in ways you cannot see to make things right for you. Just have faith and hold on to hope. Embrace the peace that comes from knowing you are never alone. Better days are on the horizon, and your heart will find its way to serenity. 🌟

الجرح ينزف والقلب مجروح
منصير نرمي حكي مش وقتو
عيب التشفي بأخيك المجروح
وعيب الشماته بجرح ما دقتو

الجرح ينزف والدموع تسيل
والقلب يتألم من الألم الثقيل
لا تزيد النار على من هو محترق
ولا تزرع الشوك في درب من هو غارق

كن البلسم لجراح الزمان
وكن السند في وقت المحن
فالجرح يشفى بالصبر والحنان
والقلب يطيب بصدق الأمان

الجرح عميق والليل طويل
والألم يصرخ في الصمت العليل
لا تكن قاسيًا على من هو ضعيف
ولا تزيد الهم على من هو كليل

كن النور في ظلام الليل
وكن الأمل في قلب عليل
فالجرح يشفى بكلمة حانية
والقلب يطيب بلمسة دافئة

الجرح يصرخ في صمت السكون
والقلب ينادي في ليل الجنون
لا تترك أخاك في بحر الألم
ولا تزيد عليه ثقل الهموم

Joy of the Now

In the quiet of the morning light,
Where dreams and dawn softly unite,
Happiness whispers, gentle and true,
Not in the chase, but in the view.

It's not in the treasures we seek to find,
But in the peace of a grateful mind.
In the simple joys that life bestows,
In the love that in our hearts grows.

For happiness is not a distant star,
But the warmth of knowing who we are.
It's in the moments we hold dear,
In the present, ever near.

So cherish what you have today,
Let contentment light your way.
For in the now, joy does reside,
In the heart, where it abides.

In the masquerade of life, we dance and twirl,
With masks that hide our truths, our inner world.
By day, we wear the smiles, the light, the grace,
But in the dark, we show our true face.

The shadows whisper secrets, dark and deep,
In twilight's grip, our hidden selves we keep.
A laugh, a tear, a twisted, knowing grin,
Reveals the soul beneath the painted skin.

In darkness, masks fall off, the truth unveiled,
The stories of our hearts, in shadows trailed.
For in the night, the masquerade is done,
And we become the selves we hide from sun.

Whispers of Life’s Paradoxes

In the heart of *believe*, a *lie* does dwell,
A silent whisper in the mind's deep well.
We cling to faith, yet doubt's shadow looms,
In the garden of hope, uncertainty blooms.

In the word *lover*, *over* stands stark,
A bittersweet echo, a fading spark.
Love's tender embrace, a fleeting dance,
Caught between moments, a fragile chance.

In the bond of *friend*, there's an *end* we dread,
A tearful goodbye, words left unsaid.
Friendship's warm glow, a comforting light,
Yet time's cruel hand turns day into night.

In the strength of *trust*, there's an *us* so dear,
A fragile connection, held close, held near.
Trust is a bridge, built on shared dreams,
Yet beneath its arches, uncertainty streams.

In the journey of *life*, there's an *if* we face,
A haunting uncertainty, a delicate grace.
Life's winding path, with twists and turns,
In every choice, a lesson learned.

Yet through these trials, we find our way,
In the shadows of night, in the light of day.
For in every ending, a new start lies,
In every question, wisdom's prize.
