From Fragility to Fortitude: The Evolution of Young Leila

In the airport's bustling hive,

Amidst the rush of lives entwined,

Stood I, with courage as my guide,

Leila Khaled, with purpose aligned.

Boarding the vessel bound for flight,

A silent vow within my heart,

To challenge darkness with my might,

And play my destined, daring part.

Seated 'mongst the passengers, still,

I felt the stirring of the hour,

A moment ripe, a silent thrill,

To wield defiance as my power.

Rising, with resolve unswayed,

A pistol grasped within my hand,

I spoke, in tones both firm and staid,

A message to the trembling band:

"Attention, all who dwell in flight,

This moment marks a shift profound,

For here, beneath the starry night,

Our voices shall with courage sound."

In that suspended, breathless space,

Where time and destiny collide,

We soared beyond the norms of place,

Upon the wings of daring pride.

Through night's embrace and morning's gleam,

We journeyed on, undaunted, free,

A testament to hope's bold scheme,

And freedom's whispered melody.

When finally, upon foreign land,

The plane descended, touched the ground,

We stepped forth, with courage fanned,

Our spirits lifted, victory crowned.

For in that moment, high above,

Amidst the vast and boundless skies,

We wrote a tale of fearless love,

And dared to claim what's truly ours.

‘From Nostalgia to the Flight of Rebirth’ (An Eagle’s perspective)

Trapped in chains of the past, my existence bound, Agony sits atop the zenith, where sorrows surround. My timid heart besieged in the valley of despair, Reality's weight overthrows courage, leaving it bare. No wish granted by God's creation, it seems, Wounded by the dagger of history, lost in dreams. Ages have passed since wings of glory were unfurled, Once bestowed with exaltation, now weighed on my world. Feathers heavy and stuck to my aged chest, As apprehensions cling, refusing to rest. Shall I praise the claws that once caught with pride? The ones that hunted with honor, no longer stride. Talons, once adorned with flair, have lost their might, A century ago they gleamed, commanding the fight. Veil lifted from memories, my conscience now aware, Of a sermon's wisdom, an elder's heartfelt glare. "Oh creature of God, flight is your sacred duty, The heavens await, your destination of beauty. Integrity holds you firm, preventing your fall, Answer the earth's cal...

A Leader's Burden: Jinnah's Personal Sacrifices for Pakistan

Few leaders are remembered not only for their political acumen but also for their personal sacrifices. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan, stands tall among those luminaries. His unwavering commitment to the cause of Pakistan came at a great personal cost, marked by sacrifice and solitude. Jinnah's marriage to Rattanbai, affectionately known as "Ruttie," was not just a union of two individuals but a fusion of cultures and religions. Despite the age and religious differences, their love was profound and enduring. Ruttie's conversion to Islam before their marriage symbolized her commitment to their relationship and to Jinnah's ideals. Their marriage was not devoid of challenges. Jinnah's relentless dedication to his political aspirations often clashed with Ruttie's desire for a fairytale romance. While he saw marriage as a solemn duty, she yearned for the pleasures of life. Despite these differences, their love remained steadfast, a beacon ...
