ode to cow
cow left today to return to england so this is dedicated to her:
your 3 months stay was like a breath of fresh air
and now with you gone, our apartment is bare.
even though your time with us was brief,
your obsession with jinns provided great comic relief.
appearance wise, you look innocent and sweet,
but deep down inside, you really are a beast.
your impression of gollum (from lord of the rings) was damn freaky
and the tricks and mind games you played on people were pretty sneaky.
your baqaaqing (like a chicken), barking and meowing had people terrified
yet your pout, charming smile and baby face had men hypnotized.
but seriously, you are thoughtful, kind hearted, caring and generous.
a bit OCD at times, yet constantly at our service.
to the grocery store, fruit seller and vegetable man...you walked miles
and returned with borios and chocolates that brought us smiles.
to see you leave, we really were sad
but to Allah we are grateful for the experiences we had.
we wish you the best of luck in everything that you do
and that all your dreams and dua’as really come true.
remember the goals we set for each other to complete
and insha’Allah in the year 2008, again we shall meet.
NOTE: borios are a knockoff of oreos cookies and cow got us addicted to them.
the four of us (nadiya, naveed, cow and i) set goals for each other and decided to have a reunion sometime in 2008. i can't remember the exact goals but it was something like: nadiya has to do something with her calligraphy, naveed has to go back to university to get her master's degree, i have to work for a relief organization and cow...i can't remember.

What an excellent poem...I couldn't have said it better myself!
(now I know what you have secretly been working on for the past few days...and nights!)
SARWATH!!
that was beautiful 'wipes tears from eyes'.
I especially like the part where i'm described as a beast :P.
I'm missing you guy's muchly. It's been crazy here, I headed straight to London after watching the Da Vinci Code with family (it's not that good, folks) so am pretty pooped.
The boat race was good, apart from the torrential rain.
man, i miss egypt!
