I'm going to write Urdu using English alphabets

Okay, what if we are exposed to both of them? Should we stick to one of them? :slight_smile:

Hey Kito’s dad :slight_smile: Why dont you point out where I made the mistake so I will try not to repeat it? As you know I am a student of this forum and I deserve to be treated like the rest you helping all the time :frowning:

In my dream…
I see you at a party
Being happy, looking pretty.
That black dress you are wearing,
is making you more appealing.
I see you at the party
And so do others.
I swear upon my love for you!
My heart can’t take this any more,
Why some other you may adore
Are feeling that you are not beside me.
Tearing like a knife inside me.
S hall I tell you that I love you?
Or shall I wait? So you
Feel my eyes on you.
Gazing at your every move
Checking out your every groove.
I see at the party,
Everyone wants to be with you.
I feel, I have no chance with you.
I will never have a dance with you,
Or a little romance with you,
Why do I see only you, at the party?
There are other pretty faces.
I can feel their traces.
My heart is pounding outta control
Should I stay or silently roll?
Before I wake up and be disappointed,
Let me say something broken hearted
I think of you in my dream,
So no one knows if I sob or scream.
I guess this will be the secret of my life
Even in my dreams you can’t be my wife
I await for your loving attention
wishing if I ever be mentioned?
I Love you so bad that it hurts
I feel I am not worthy of you
so Ilyas doesn’t flirt.

One more from me.

В гибельном фолианте
Нету соблазна для
Женщины. – Ars Amandi
Женщине – вся земля.

Сердце – любовных зелий
Зелье – вернее всех.
Женщина с колыбели
Чей-нибудь смертный грех.

Ах, далеко до неба!
Губы – близки во мгле…
– Бог, не суди! – Ты не был
Женщиной на земле!

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.


Ok this is my new version of Secret Lover I fixed some areas and of course I thank the pretty Milanva for providing a wheelchair for my lame attempt to write Poetry. But I am not going to stop until I am going to write a master peice. Everyone should write poetry a poet is within us all we just got to poke it untill the poet wakes up and then all the trouble starts. :slight_smile:

In my dream…
I see you in a party
being happy, looking pretty.
That black dress you wearing,
making you more appearing.
Why at the party I only see you?
why I can’t stand others around you?
I swear upon my love for you!
my heart can’t take this anymore,
why someone else you have to adore?
Feeling that you are not beside me
Is tearing like a knife inside me
shall I tell you that I love you,
or shall I wait?
At the right moment I should knock
upon your gate.
Do you ever feel my eyes on you?
Desperation so out of control, I scorn you.
Gazing your every move
Checking out your every groove.
I have to live this moment too
Everyone wants to be with you.
I feel, I have no chance with you.
I never will have a dance with you,
or a little romance with you,
Why at the party I only see you?
There are other pretty faces
I can feel their traces.
My heart is pounding outta control
Oh God! should I stay or silently roll?
before I wake up and be disappointed
let me say something broken hearted
I think of you in my dream
So no one knows if I sob or scream
I guess this will be the secret of my life
Even in my dreams you can’t be my wife
I wait for your loving attention
Wishing if I ever be mention?
I Love you so bad that it hurt
I feel I am not worthy of you
so Ilyas dare not to flirt.

By three ways we may we may acquire love first by SEX which is the wildest second by Romance which is the longest and third by waiting & Dreaming to get noticed which is the stupidest. … Ilyas Kashmiri.

Ilyas that really is a great poem. It truly illustrates the frustration that I am sure many young people feel when love strikes the heart for the first time.

Again, I thank you for both composing and posting it.

Might I make a few suggestions / changes.?

Hey Kito’s dad by all means after all you are English and who can be a better authority than English itself :slight_smile: We all are just trying to be like you or to understand you should I say. I have already asked your help for every time I write anything please feel free to correct me or help me enhancing my English experience.

By three ways we may we may acquire love first by SEX which is the wildest. :wink: Second by Romance which is the longest and third by waiting & Dreaming to get noticed which is the stupidest. :frowning: … Ilyas Kashmiri.

making you even more appealing
Why at the party do I see only you.?

Wondering if I am ever mentioned.
I Love you so bad that it hurts.

why someone else you do adore.?

Gazing at your every move

Why at the party do I see only you?

I wouldn’t change anything else. I think it is original and super.

I hope one day to be able to say, " Ilyas_Kashmiri, the poet, is a friend of mine. "

Ever Lasting Nights

The day runs out if it was never there.
Endless night, getting cold in here.
In your love I left everyone, everywhere.
Banished by all I ever knew, I ever care.
Don’t know without you how to live;
For one sight of you, all I’ll give.
Your memories so enchanting;
Revive the entire night alive.
Loneliness whispering
stories of you, like a bee hive.
A caravan of hopes and dreams I walk with.
Someday it will be you, I can talk with.
Madness taking over,
Every street and every corner.
I look through my misery
And I even search you in good time.
I even went exploring history
and found no sign.
Why loving you seems like a crime?
No matter where I turn
Or how much I run
I can’t find you.
I walk alone without a direction.
Am I under arrest by the fragments of my imagination?
Loving you is my plight.
Ilyas misses you every night.

Ok I have done it again and I hope you all will remain kind and patient with me :smiley: If there is any positive feed back or any sugessions please feel free to let me know. I am open for critisizm. 8)
Thanks for taking your time out and reading my poetry. I think everyone should try doing some poetry, it really helps lifting and exhaling stress. :shock:

Anyone want to try writing some poetry? AnyOne??

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…

That is a so inspiring and wonderful. I wish this dream comes true and we all can live in peace and harmony. :smiley: 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 …?

A grimoire that’s enchanting

The heart of all the love philters,
The surest of their kin,

Somebody’s mortal sin.

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.

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. :smiley: 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)

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.

Can I replace bad with badly?
I love you so badly that it hurts

Maybe in informal English, bad=badly.

I’ve learned a new idiom: to have butterflies in one’s stomach

In Chinese it means 七上八下 [qī shàng bā xià] :stuck_out_tongue:
