Rubai - Allama Iqbal


RUbai - ALlama Muhammad Iqbal






atā aslāf jazb-e-durūñ kar

sharīk-e-zumra-e-lā-yahzanūñ, kar
ḳhirad 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.

Ramzan

Ramadan is near, its near
Ramadan oh so dear, so dear
During this month we must fast
Opportunity for our good deeds to amass
From food and drink we abstain
Satan this month is put on a chain
Wake late in the night for Tahajjud
Pray like you really truly should
Duas at this early hour readily accepted
Almighty ALLAH hears all, the Most Elevated
Then eat your delicious sehri food
Throughout the day don’t be in a mood
Muslims fast all over worldwide
Rewards in this month multiplied
Your eyes will soon open up wide
Looking at all those foods fried
But don’t just anxiously await the iftaar
Make dua, ask to be kept from sins afar
Recite the Holy Qur’an much
Each and every sunnah try to clutch
Make good speech your norm
Extra Nawafil Salah do perform
Having kept your fast during the day
At night Taraweeh stand and pray
Practice the beautiful way of our Prophet (Peace and Blessing upon him)
And for eternity hereafter increase your profit!

Marry You - It is a Beautiful Night - Bruno Mars

"Marry You" It's a beautiful night, We're looking for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you. Is it the look in your eyes, Or is it this dancing juice? Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you. Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go oh oh oh, No one will know oh oh oh, Oh, come on, girl. Who cares if we're trashed got a pocket full of cash we can blow oh oh oh, Shots of patron, And it's on, girl. Don't say no, no, no, no-no; Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah; And we'll go, go, go, go-go. If you're ready, like I'm ready. Cause it's a beautiful night, We're looking for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you. Is it the look in your eyes, Or is it this dancing juice? Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you. I'll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh, So what you wanna do? Let's just run girl. If we wake up and you wanna break up that's cool. No, I won't blame you; It was fun, girl. Don't say no, no, no, no-no; Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah; And we'll go, go, go, go-go. If you're ready, like I'm ready. Cause it's a beautiful night, We're looking for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you. Is it the look in your eyes, Or is it this dancing juice? Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you. Just say I doooooo-ooo uhu, Tell me right now baby, Tell me right now baby, baby. Oh, it's a beautiful night, We're looking for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you. Is it the look in your eyes, Or is it this dancing juice? Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you. =====
