RUbai - ALlama Muhammad Iqbal
atā aslāf kā jazb-e-durūñ kar
sharīk-e-zumra-e-lā-yahzanūñ, kar
ḳhirad kī gutthiyāñ suljhā chukā maiñ
mire maulā mujhe sāhib-e-junūñ kar
How to Spend a Birthday by Lee Herrick
I just came across this beautiful poem at poetryfoundation.org
Light a match. Watch the blue part
flare like a shocked piñata
from the beating
into the sky,
watch how fast thin
wood burns & turns toward the skin,
the olive-orange skin of your thumb
& let it burn, too.
Light a fire. Drown out the singing cats.
Let the drunken mariachis blaze their way,
streaking like crazed hyenas
over a brown hill, just underneath
a perfect birthday moon.
