When I saw her for the first time
I got mesmerized
dreaming blue eyes
so beautiful
...

I'm getting ready
For the garage sale tomorrow
My grandma passed away
A few weeks ago
...

That scented oil perfume
rubbed on me when I held you close to me
this morning in the garden and gave you
three long kisses of love.
...

Joyous, blissful moment, sitting on the porch, you and I
two forms, two faces, yet one soul together, you and I

The groves' gift, the birds' songs give us the water of ever
...

So strange are
Your thoughts

You are my destiny
...

I think of you
and feel the fragrance of my mother
the most beautiful woman in the world.
...

Spring breeze is light
Several peaches are red
Swallows whisper
One willow green
...

Why do you promise every night
not to write
even if it be all worthless
(as mostly it is)
...

At our break up you didn't cry nor did I
How come then you couldn't sleep nor did I

Circumstances were such we were stalled
...

This world is not your home
You are a traveler, a passerby
Your clothes and shoes full of dust
Sometimes you walk in the desert
...

A laborer works
Hard for a loaf of bread
He is sad.
He sheds tears of poverty
...

A great poem of the day
for celebration and deliberation
it inspires and fires all emotions
all great poet deserve admirations
...

When I tell him -
Listen, it is the real thing
He laughs at me and says
I must be dreaming.
...

log sochtay hoN gay
main kyon likhta firta hoon

jawaab main un ko aaj deta hoon:
...

My life moved so fast
I really did not learn much
I did not learn how to contrive artfully.
In my heart I feel I am still a child
...

Somewhere they're spreading their wings,
Somewhere they're running around,
Somewhere they look like poor holy men
Standing still in deep meditation.
...

God tells us to love all - all humans, all animals, all nature
But he does not love a son, a holy son of christians
who still live in delusions to be pacified.
He lets him die on the cross, does not save him
...

Let us get out and enjoy the rains
let us relive our memories

to walk in the mud a little
...

O Captain, mere Captain!
hamara khofnaak safar ab poora ho chuka hai
jahaz har mausum main sahi salaamat raha hai
anaam jo hum chahtay thay hum ne jeet liya hai
