Midnight reverie

Reflecting the wonder of the night sky, this naani poem invites us into a celestial reverie where divine grace appears in enchanting imagery. With scattered sequins, calligraphed constellations, and twinkling stars at night embellishing the midnight canvas, the verse reminds us that even in darkness, beauty and order prevail. It gently asserts that the divine presence illuminates our lives, filling them with hope, wonder, and nurturing light—a timeless message of grace, comfort, and celestial embrace.

Sequins scattered,

constellations calligraphed

on the midnight black.

Thy grace in our lives.

Welfare unto all 

Rab rakha 

Lost in the stars

Lying on our backs, 

in summer blankets, 

gazing at the dome of the sky, 

the stars and constellations 

sprayed like fine glittering Mukaish. 

Our silences talk.

The sky lights up 

with the ecstatic dance 

of a shooting star.

Hasty forget-me-not wish.

Quick stay-by-me-always wish.

And then I fall asleep.

Cozily nestled on your arm.

Such perfect Kodak moments.

Welfare unto all

Rab Rakha
