Best Mene Poems

Mene jab-jab dekha andhera dikha
Khwab bhi mele the dhuan dikha
Mene zindagi ko jeene ki koshish ki 
Jeene ka maksad bhi maut me mila

Kya batau kese batau
Ki kya mushkile he
Bas itna samajhlo tum
Ki mustakbil gardish me he

Mene saha kese saha
Ki kya halat the wo
Bas tum itna Jaan lo
Ki Jung ab tabish se he

Me jeeyu ese jeeyu
Ki kya majbooriyan thi
Tumko bas itna ilm ho
Taare mere jumbish me he

Me kahu...

At this omega of ill-fetted volitions 
where the concrete-embeded poster reads "EXIT"
you watch with amusement the logical end 
of ideological perversion
bemused by the grunts of kings vommitted by history
a history of misery

In this, my date with fate
as an inspired spectator i ignore the values a...

,The earth was dying,one of seven billion speak,
Build it up,increase the images,eternity for all,recall,
Kia galaxy rooks,Endyminion attend,his plan circumvend,
Suddenly born like fire,behold the man,damned,
New Universe of dark,light and dream,the greater scheme,
An afterlife of ankh,the new universe betrayed,
Access in death, confuse and confound,
Endyminion,mene mene tekel,your life...

Hey There

Giving so much 
I can't see you
There
with your husband4
That should be me
We tested the waters and the great sea
found a sailor.
Nearby I fixed the dog: he'll never love again
Lusting beast, he'll never love again.
I found an old picture of you when our lives crossed
never...

Escape
rondel/roundel by Geoffrey Chaucer
translation by Michael R. Burch

Since I’m escaped from Love and yet still fat,
I never plan to be in his prison lean;
Since I am free, I count it not a bean.

He may question me and counter this and that;
I care not: I will...

In the mist nobody writes out
by hand like signs.
But you are walking along some roads
with the thought which knows
only and solely itself.
And the loneliness lifts a mountain. 
And our bodies are too heavy to us.
How nobody flings open his arms
till the end – for an...

Atlanta's Oliver Hardy
so pretentious and somewhat lardy,
had a sidekick,bungling,but thin
both silently,still bring a grin
The talented Christina Rossetti
wrote carols and much poetry.

Mene kal ek jhalak zindagi ko dekha,
Woh meri raha mein gunguna rahi thi...

Dhundha usse idher udher,
Woh aankh micholi kar muskara rahi thi...

Ek aarse k baad aaya mujhe karaar,
Woh sehla k mujhe sula rahi thi...

Hum dono kyu khafa hai ek dusre se ,
Mein usse aur woh...

The drinking was getting out of hand,
Using vessels from the Promised Land,
Praising gods that rulers can withstand,
A pagan king gets more than he planned!

"The enemy is outside your wall!"

"No worries, our walls are very tall!
Getting drunk is no problem at all.
Medes and all, Babylon will...

Dard is dil ki
Koi samjhta nhi.
Jisne samjha 
Usne galat hi samjha.
Hum ustaad chhupane me
aur log batangad banane me.
 
Jitna dabaya
Usse jyada bahar Aya.
Ashun ko v bht chhupaya
Kavi ruk jata tha
Kavi beh jata tha
Koi dekh lega uska v dar laga rehta tha.
Ro kar ankh sujha liya
Subah...

you do not have the right to be angry
no not at all
thats not ok
just not ok with me

dog love! 
I shout

with a bittenhand
what train departs that time again!?

I love you is not a station in the past
where I return you easily 
to the biting dog...
