I’d Rather -Kazi Falguni Eshita

I’d rather have one real friend Instead of a thousand fake ones. I’d rather count my own blessings Instead of being jealous of others. I’d rather be happy with little Instead of asking for too much. I’d rather care for myself Focus on being the real me, People only judge...

End or Not -Gazi Millat Mahmud

End or Not -Gazi Millat Mahmud

One came with the sunrise, A new river formed from melting ice. Now the sun is setting once again, Creating frozen ice in time’s domain. Clean water brought life with thrill, Sun rays showed the future for the reed. But the setting sun has brought disappointment— Is darkness going to...

Tears, Idle Tears -Alfred Lord Tennyson

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depth of some divine despair Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy autumn-fields, And thinking of the days that are no more. Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail,...

A Divine Image -William Blake

Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face; Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.

The Twin Genius -Iqbal Mahamud

Where the future was always just a heartbeat away, two brothers—Rishad and Masum—were about to change the world. Identical twins with a shared love for science and faith, they were fascinated by the challenge of time management. Waking up for Fajr prayer, studying at the right intervals, taking breaks for...

Dream Variation -Langston Hughes

To fling my arms wide In some place of the sun, To whirl and to dance Till the white day is done. Then rest at cool evening Beneath a tall tree While night comes on gently, Dark like me– That is my dream! To fling my arms wide In the...

Who Has Bid Thee Ask No More -Hafiz

Work Without Hope -Samuel Taylor Coleridge

All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair– The bees are stirring–birds are on the wing– And WINTER slumbering in the open air, Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring ! And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor...

Three Poems -Jalaluddin Rumi

Any lifetime that is spent without seeing the master Is either death in disguise or a deep sleep. The water that pollutes you is poison; The poison that purifies you is water. ******** Any soul that drank the nectar of your passion was lifted. From that water of life he...

The Props assist the House -Emily Dickinson

The Props assist the House Until the House is built And then the Props withdraw And adequate, erect, The House support itself And cease to recollect The Auger and the Carpenter— Just such a retrospect Hath the perfected Life— A past of Plank and Nail And slowness—then the Scaffolds drop...

I Am Alone -Rabia Al Basri

Carl Sandburg I Am the People, the Mob I am the people—the mob—the crowd—the mass. Do you know that all the great work of the world is done through me? I am the workingman, the inventor, the maker of the world’s food and clothes. I am the audience that witnesses history. The...

Lead Poem

Jalaluddin Rumi My Hart Is In Constant Fervour Now sleeping, now awake, my hart is in constant fervour. It is a covered saucepan, placed on fire. O you! who have offered us from a cup a silencing wine; Each moment a new tale is shouting to be told in silence....

Loveliest of Trees -A. E. Housman

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide. Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since...

In Silence -Jalaluddin Rumi

A Guide has entered this life, in silence. His message is only heard, in silence. Take a sip of His precious wine And lose yourself. Don’t insult the greatness of His love, for he helps all those who suffer, in silence. Polish the mirror between the breaths. Go with Him,...
