Khudai Ehtamam-e-Khushk-o-Tar Hai
Khudawand! Khudai Dard-e-Sar HaiTo be God is to have charge of land and sea;
Being God is nothing but a headache!Walekin Bandagi, Astagfirullah!
Ye Dard-e-Sar Nahin, Dard-e-Jigar HaiBut being a servant of God? God forbid!
That is no headache—it is a heartache!(Bal-e-Jibril-114)
خدائی اہتمامِ خشک و تر ہے
خداوندا! خدائی دردِ سر ہے
و لیکن بندگی، استغفراللہ!
یہ دردِ سر نہیں، دردِ جگر ہے#DardeJigar #Bandagi #Khudai #BaleJibreel #Rubai #AllamaIqbal

By all that is decent, cover her face.
Let not Death with vacant eyes, slack mouth displace
her sun-dappled figure laughing down boreens
flashing puckish wit, simple elegance and grace.#epicedion #eulogy #epitaph

a tap tap tap,
a crack, chink, beak, peeper, peep—
chick!— § —
No call, her swain already twenty minutes late;
abundant time to check her face, to titivate
the setting with a bowl of purple potpourri,
but why, oh why no creaking of the gate? -

a long-billed curlew
with chopstick delicacy
plucks a fat tadpoleWhenever i join a game of poker
my acumen at best is mediocre,
yet still I gamely feed the kitty
on the off-chance I'll draw a joker.#MicroPoetry #SmallPoems #poems #poetry

You underrate my perspicacity.
Though you stick to your tale with tenacity,
it has holes; when you state the dog ate it,
forgive me, I doubt your veracity.#rubai #poem #MastoPrompt: veracity
