I'm going to write Urdu using English alphabets

[Zarghuna]

well i've written this one but i am not sure if its even passable but here goes:

the new earth inspired
in the core of every particle, an awe
for its inhabitants had succeeded
in reviving the long forgotten law
the old paint had been chipped off
and the canvas ready for the artists, to draw
the final look was complete
though it had started from all things, raw
happiness and sorrow defined
sweet notes of nightengale were not the crow's caw
no terror left in the newly born world
clean, divine, peaceful, without flaw
life, so beautiful and serene
in a vision, once i saw...

[Ilyas_Kashmiri]

That is a so inspiring and wonderful. I wish this dream comes true and we all can live in peace and harmony. :D Great poem! I hope others are going to muster up some courage and share their visions and dreams with us. People don't worry if you make mistakes we have Kitosdad to help us with our Grammer.8)

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
How I wonder what you are
up above the world so high
like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
how many light years are you far
In another galaxy so far away
We will find you one day
you are little but your twinkle is great
you twinkle for all and don't discriminate
clean, divine, peaceful, without a flaw
in a child's eye, once saw.... 8)
Twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder where you are ....?

by Marina Tsvetaeva

A grimoire that’s enchanting
Brings no temptation forth
For a woman.- Ars Amandi.
All of the Earth is hers.

The heart of all the love philters,
The surest of their kin,
A woman, she from her cradle is
Somebody’s mortal sin.

Ah, so far is Heaven!
Lips in the dark are close…
God, don’t judge! You haven’t
Been a woman on Earth.

This poem is so moving touching one has to be a woman to truly appreciate it. Thanks again for a great contribution and sharing this poem with us.

[Kitosdad]

She was my all, she was my life,
This woman who, was once my wife.
Soul-mates from the very start,
I had to leave and break her heart.
I left for love, but only in fashion,
It was not love, merely unspent passion.
Thinking I was the one who knew it all,
I put my pride before the fall.
A fall that was always sure to come,
And when it did, it turned me numb.
A bitter price I've had to pay,
I'll rue it till my dying day.
I'd give the world to undo the hurt,
Beware my friends, DO NOT FLIRT.

I can only say "WOW" this poetic master is so true and yet melodic at the same time, Just amazing how words can become so effective when put together by an Artist. Bill, that’s a great message for our new generation. It probably can put a stop on unwanted pregnancies. :D Staying faithful to the one you love and finding every satisfaction and happiness in little things of life that we sometime ignore and let them slip away is the No.1 cause of Flirting with others. But that’s my opinion some people are born sick and can't help doing such cruel deed.8)

[Kitosdad]

Good morning Ilyas, Thanks for the compliment.

You and I run a parallel course with our poems, the difference being, I write of broken dreams, whilst you write of dreams, as yet unbroken.

Your friend, Bill.

Confusion

My heart is full, overflowing
The thoughts in my mind
Are like the butterflies
I can feel in my stomach.
I'm lost and I'm found
I'm happy and sad
I feel something
And it isn't too bad

A life in limbo
In the hell of fear
Something touches me
Precious and dear
I felt it before,
I know its feel
I wish I could hold it
In a life without tears

The original was written by my friend, and I put it into English (just for exercise). Please feel free to give your opinion.

晨光 梦 The glow of dawn Dreams

在黎明的清凉里拾起露珠，
挂在微笑的风中晾晒，
草叶的清香弥散于晨雾，
梦在宁静里悠然。

I pick up a dewdrop in the cool daybreak.
It is drying itself in the smiling breeze.
The fragrance of foliage mixes with the dawn haze,
And dreams softly dream in the tranquility.

美丽的鸟儿，
藏在绿色的帷幕里吟唱，
欢乐的歌曲，
在清晨的薄雾里流淌。

Beautiful birds,
Are hopping and twittering on their perches.
Merry songs,
Chorus in the light mist.

掀起翠帏，隔窗凝望，
淡月的倩影，移向西方，
似一朵夏日的白莲，
亭亭地立于湖水中央。

Undrape the verdant curtain and enjoy a distant view.
The shadow of the faint moon is moving to the west.
Like a summer's white lotus,
It stands gracefully in the lake water.

温暖的晨光，
漫撒着金黄，
叶儿在风中轻轻地荡漾，
守望的心灵慢慢地舒张。

The warm morning lights,
Paint the ground a golden brilliance.
Leaves undulate gently in the cool breeze.
An expecting soul is spreading slowly.

站在春风的谷底，
仰望流动的浮云，
在蓝色的海洋里，
幻化成一叶叶白帆，
载着梦儿飘向遥远。

From the valley floor of vernal wind,
I look up at the floating clouds.
In the wide blue sea,
I conjure up dots of white sails.
It carrys my dream to a remote future.

脚底，淙淙的清泉，
汩汩地吐着白泡泡，
温暖弥散成湖面，
金光与波纹一起缠绵。

Under my feet runs a clear spring.
It is bubbling up white foams.
Beautiful heart is laying on the lake.
Golden streaks and ripples reflect mutually.

那浓郁的绿啊！
沿着湖岸伸展，
绚烂的花红，
撑起绿云，
绽放出片片霞光，
梦的天空，
升起一道彩虹。

What a verdant landscape!
It stretches out along the banks.
The gorgeous scarlet flowers,
Lift up jade clouds.
There blossom a glowing rays of the dusk.
In the sky of dreams,
There rises a splendid rainbow.

Great translation and I wonder how good the original poetry will be.? The entire poem is based on things that are around us all the time but we are so busy in other things that we fail to enjoy all these gifts of nature and God. Thank you for reminding us that we live in a beautiful world and we need to start appreciating it or its going to slip away from our hands. Just beautiful thoughts my soul felt refreshed after reading it. :D Thanks WXR588.
p.s You are right about the switch of "Bad" to Badly it sounds better. 8) I am guilty of writing that foolish poem :(

Here is a CLASSIC for all you poetry lovers. :D

Bāa bāa blāck sheep
have you any wool
yes sir yes sir
three bags full.
One for my master
and one for the dame
and one for the little boy
who lives down the lane.
:D

Shyone Nice Confusion I mean to say well put :D it’s so nice to read all these wonderful thoughts and I get to learn lots of new words at the same time 8)

[Zarghuna]

This nursery poem of your's reminded me of its Urdu version we were taught in Pre-Nursery:

Kaali Kaali Bukriyaan
Oon hai kia?
Jee haan, jee haan
Teen boriyaan
Aik master jee ki,
Aik madam ki,
Aik chotay buchay ki
Jo rehta hai wahan *pointing with the finger* 8)

[Ilyas_Kashmiri]

Zarqhuna Thanks for sharing this with me. I personally think the English version was written first because I had known it from past 40 some years when I was in 1st grade. Someone has done a very clever translation and made it their own. here is another one let’s see if you have read or heard a Urdu version of this as well.

Jack and Jill
went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water

Jack fell down,
and broke his crown
Jill came tumbling after.

[Kitosdad]

The passing years, how quick they fly,
And all to soon they pass you by.
Where did they go? Where have they went ?
I can't recall so many spent.
What did I do?, What did I gain?
It's only now I feel the pain.
The wasted hours, the wasted days,
All passed before me in a haze.
I was so sure they'd never end,
But now I find, they have my friend.
I gaze around, my senses dim,
Whatever did become of Him ?
The Him I knew, so strong and tall,
Who stops to sit upon a wall.
And search for a familiar face,
When did it change, what is this place ?
Where are my friends, where did they go ?
Am I the last, I need to know?
But no-one cares, no-one replies,
The tears flow slowly from my eyes.
I dare not let them see me weep,
I wend my way back home to sleep.
Sleep in a chair, not in a bed,
So afraid they'll find me dead.
There surely is more time to come,
To feel the rain and feel the sun.
To smile at children running by,
And wish once more, that that were I.
But the wheel has turned, my time is through,
There's nothing more that I can do.
But sit and watch the hours pass,
The sand, run slowly, from the glass.
And when the final grain does fall,
I'll smile and think, " I did it all. "

Kitosdad.

You love me as a friend, but I need more,
I feel this way as you pass my door.
You'll never know, for I'll never say,
My dearest hope, is you'll smile my way.
You are but a dream that fills my mind,
Is it really true, is love really blind ?
Each passing hour, each passing day,
Sees my hopeless dream slowly fade away.
You must know I'm here, you must know I care,
Must know how I long to touch your hair.
Look into your eyes, so deep, so blue,
And say the words, " Darling I love you. "
Yet you have no thought, not the least idea,
Just how much I long, to hold you near.
You never will, for I'll never say,
I'll just continue to dream as you walk away.
I'll just wave, " Hello. " as you pass by,
And be content with your friendly, " Hi. "
