ABOUT THE BOOK: 

"Glimpses of Thoughts" is a collection of poems, written in neo-classical style, that glow with a crisp freshness of thought. 

Mohammed Abdul Jawad has collected together his thoughts on personal and profound questions. From deep within arises a passion for the Almighty Lord, for truth and a recognition that all of us are responsible for our lives and the choices we make. It is an awe-inspiring that Mohammed has rendered “Glimpses of Thoughts”, in a style quite reminiscent of the Elizabethan dialect. He is influenced by the Bard.

The book contains poems that glow with a crisp freshness of thought. They call to the soul to pause, to reflect, to learn to change and then to move forward with clearer vision and a transcendent purpose. These are truly glimpse: shutter fast, the images, dreams, and ideas fly past to beckon and lure the mind and the heart. A promising new voice emerges from the poetic-wisdom genre and one is sure to gain an audience as he improves his craft.

There is much to nourish the heart and mind in this collection. Many questions are asked— “What does really motivates man, hinders him when he is passionate? For what purpose existence ends, only to become dust and nothing? O, when these be known, man will be above the angel, and until he is unaware, more than a devil.” The answers are left to the reader, but food for thought is not wanting.

While reading this collection of poems, at times, one may wish the poet had used a contemporary idiom. Finally, it must be said, that the beautiful background for his passionate thoughts on the condition of humanity created by the rhetoric of his language would be lost if he had adopted another strategy.

Following are two poems quoted from 'Glimpses of Thoughts’:

Robe of Piety

O man! Live best in this living world

Wear the robe of simplicity,

with clear piety purify the heart.

Sprinkle modesty in the eyes,

sweeten the tongue with truth.

Give ears to the echo of wisdom

breathe the verity of inspiring words.

Prepare the mind for noble thoughts

And, with true deeds to die virtuous

that name be spelt in honor and dignity.

Quests for Truths

Is there any philosophy of life

or truths for knowing higher truth?

What does really motivates man,

hinders him when he is passionate?

Where comes the thirst

to discover inner self and soul?

What controls thoughts and sensations

how, falls in error or seeking for guidance?

For what purpose existence ends

only to become dust and nothing?

O, when these be known, man will be above the angel—

and until he is unaware—more than a devil.
