About the Poet

Why are things the way they are? Poetry infuses a sense of curiosity and life in Nishat. Poetry, for her, is not just a form of expression, but also is a divine connection and reflection upon the worldly and the unseen life.

From Shakespeare to Frost, each poet tries to spread a key message to humanity. She feels that Poetry is a beautiful form of articulation of feelings and messages.

Nishat is an avid reader and finds herself particularly interested in depicting her expressions through different forms of writing. From Poetry to Article Writing, she likes reflecting on various issues of significance to the society and tries to practice creative thinking.

She is also particularly interested in researching on the enigmatic mysteries of life. Why do humans think they do? How have humans evolved? These are some of the questions she finds herself interested in.

Introspection

In a world filled with darkness,

I was given nothing but sadness.

After everyone had disappeared,

Suddenly, a young man appeared.

I saw him collecting some bricks,

Thinking whether this could be the resolution to my conflicts.

Day and Night he worked tirelessly,

Determined and smiling very fervently.

To my surprise what did I see?

Was it a colorful mosaic, a valley of love or the joyful hive of the bee?

It was none other than my true identity,

Which I had discovered in that serenity.

Each brick was a symbol of love and hope,

I had turned out to be like the colors of a kaleidoscope.

Today, I had built a bridge,

Which had guided me to the true abode of knowledge.

I had discovered the purpose of my existence,

And unveiled the importance of co-existence.
