Award-winning poet and author Lily Swarn unveiled her latest poetic masterpiece, A Bejeweled Tiara, a collection that celebrates the boundless power of love and peace. Marking her ninth book and fifth poetry collection, this work delves into the delicate emotions and profound truths of the human experience.
A Bejeweled Tiara is an ode to divine love, devotion, and the eternal force of affection, featuring reflections on Ishq e Haqiqi (love of God) and Ishq e Majazi (love for God’s creation). Through captivating verses, Swarn brings to life the legendary love stories of Layla Majnu, Heer Ranjha, and Mirza Sahiba, honoring the universality of love that transcends barriers.
In addition to its romantic essence, the book also carries a strong humanitarian appeal. The section Set the White Dove Free is a poignant call for a world without war, advocating peace and justice for the millions affected by conflict. Swarn’s words echo global concerns, shedding light on the struggles of war victims, including widows, orphans, and displaced individuals.
“Poetry has the power to heal and unite,” says Swarn. “A Bejeweled Tiara is my fearless expression of love, peace, and humanity—a voice against war and suffering.”
