Magnolia's Poem Production-Line Project!

As-Salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh

Here's an idea I came up with for a fun topic to get our creative cogs moving inshaAllah

Magnolia's Poem Production-Line Project!

Rules of the project :

1 - We decide on a poem title beforehand (sisters can suggest the titles of future poem projects with the first two lines of the poem included if they are feeling particularly enthusiastic inshaAllah ).

2 - Each sister adds two rhyming lines each.

3 - The poem should be between 10 and 20 lines long - this should give us plenty of leeway to round off the ending and have the poem make a bit of sense inshaAllah.

4 - Each sister posts her two lines in a different colour, separate from the poem, then posts the previous lines of the poem as a whole, adding her additional lines.

Sis Umm An-Nu'man has suggested the following title for our first poem project which is very appropriate for this time of the Islamic year mashaAllah (suggestions for later projects can be voted on by the members inshaAllah).

A Journey Like No Other (for the Hajj)

So off we go with our new project inshaAllah - I'll start us off with the first two lines written by me and lines 3 & 4 written by sis zaza mashaAllah.
Bismillahir-Rahman ur-Raheem....

lines 1 & 2 by Aisha :
It is a journey like no other,
All are equal - sisters and brothers...

A Journey Like No Other

Waiting for the next two lines

Come on sisters........where's everyone

Assalaamu'alaikum,
Sisters..i will try to add the lines..
Really it is so fun and it forced me to think and think, finally i made the lines but..not sure if my lines fit and match in the poem or not .. (i dont mind at all to get corrections! )
It is really good idea to have projects in the forum....i feel it's like my "home work" that has to be done, jazakallahukhair !
Ok...here are my lines....


" Thawaf around the kabah, wuquf in arafah
Our hearts filled with joy, hope, and fear"

Masha Allah these lines are beautiful. Add it to the poem like sister Hajer did above.

using the quote option.

Assalaamu'alaikum..
Alhamdulillah..thank you sister Zaza, i wanted to put in quote like Sister Hajer did but was not sure if my lines was alright or not to put there..
If there was no project, i think i would be so hard for me start to think to make poem in English

I was tempted too to finish the poem

Jazakallahu Khairan Sister Mabsoota for the final verses.

I don't think it's finished yet - there is no conclusion to the poem We can still add a few more lines to round it off inshaAllah.
BarakAllahu feekee sis mabsoota mashaAllah

No, it's not meant to be the final verse, couldn't think of a good ending, but we're allowed up to 20 lines alhamdulillah. Who's up for the next couple of lines then?
