Be wise and don't mock love
Lion not pass any guilt by anyone
Everyone's eyes are happy to see she
I the one buyer fire look she
The brain says that she does unfaithful
It's amazing that I have such an illusion full
O my troubled heart, where is his love?
If you don't know where it is, it is definitely a secret move
Everyone's eyes are happy with your laugh
Whether she was or not she is a laugh
You are the most forgiving person in your loyalty
It is the day of eternity, open the door secretly
You Never don't turn your back on a promissory
The burden of my heart is from where to where like mystery
This world with all creatures and existence
It revolves around you like Sufi dance

What you picked up at the junction
Will end up serving no function,
Mine; The Bold Voice of Lord God’s seer,
Though the message might stab like spear…
Tears for the buyer of fake good,
Who’d seen it and forgot to brood;
Our markets they infiltrate,
More items we adulterate
The products whose cost is dear:
Because they spellbind, no fear!
But not for who questions ask,
Sellers taking to a task
For fake goods we keep longing
And bought: a sense of belonging,
As it radiates fine texture…
Why need I instinct’s lecture?

The annual Christmas Bazaar is tomorrow
In a country village not far from my home,
Joy and glee casting out all seasonal sorrow
The annual Christmas Bazaar is tomorrow,
Quickly to the bank some cash, I’ll borrow
A few days later to feel a tinge of sorrow
My budget stretched by buyer syndrome,
The annual Christmas Bazaar is tomorrow
In a country village not far from my home.

Buyer Beware
David J Walker
The Earth is our patient host
And we are the guests
Feasting freely in a full pantry
Steeling the linen
Calling our neighbors invaders
Demanding justice to fortify our
Positions and satisfy our ambitions
Enforcing the bowing and kneeling
But buyer beware
Earth has its own practice
Of healing

Majrooh Sultanpuri translations of Urdu poems into English
I'm like a commodity being priced in the market-place:
every eye ogles me like a buyer's.
—Majrooh Sultanpuri, loose translation by Michael R. Burch
If you insist, I'll continue playing my songs,
forever piping the flute of my heart.
—Majrooh Sultanpuri, loose translation by Michael R. Burch
The moon has risen once again, yet you are not here.
My heart is a blazing pyre; what do I do?
—Majrooh Sultanpuri, loose translation by Michael R. Burch

If it sounds too good to be true
The low price is the clue
So what would you say
To a resort on Waikiki Bay
That costs you but two hours pay
~ Caveat emptor! -- Stay away!

Anything you got for sale I can take care
Whether it be books clothes or even broken chair
All I need is a very hefty fare
And I'll take things that are even rare
Sometimes I even take away people fear
But it'll cost more than a few strand of hair
I'm always closer to you than you think
Just open your eyes and give three wink
But make sure you don't blink
Cause one false move and you'll sink
I'm the buyer the one that comes for soul
I'll take you away if you don't have any life goal
But I first seek out the one's with hidden mold
I always keep my cool even when its cold
You won't find me in black
But I'll always be ready to attack
I am the buyer

A Passerbyer or a Buyer
You will love this place and am not a liar
Whey be passerbyer but become a buyer
Whole lot great green belt does surround
House and lot are like heaven you have found.
House rests is on cul-de-sec a dead end street
When my magnificent house your eyes meet
Desired design is destined to make you be
Living in home of brave and land of the free.
All is peaceful here and will exist no wreath
Leading to a pretty pond you can see a path
As you are looking from your front door
Once in house so much more is in store.
If bought, thought to you we do bequeath
Should see all the storage space underneath
All available and at your personal disposal
To yu personally want to make this proposal.
Next door neighbors are nice and really great
To purchase home and move in can hardly wait
Can you believe realtor recently gave me a hint
Best proven policy is always to assume consent.
Oh and
Once in and you find yourself full of elation
House happens to sit on highest elevation.

Let the Buyer Beware
By Elton Camp
These days, it is especially nice
To find an item at a bargain price
A half-price car Reginald got
But had to meet in a parking lot
“Cash only,” the seller did say
He’d mail the car title right away
An advertisement for rings Meg spied
Right there in the newspaper classified
She had to drive into the country rather far
To see jewelry from the trunk of his car
The prices were simply incredible, though
She bought several items and was on the go
A sixty-inch flat screen television set
For only fifty bucks, Joe was able to get
It was delivered in an old, beat-up truck
Joe simply couldn’t believe his luck
The stolen items the police confiscated
Thus, the “bargains” they much hated
When word of the buys the cops got
All said, “We had no idea it was hot!”
Suspicious circumstances they had to see
To such purchases should never agree

he sold a lot from lies he told
the same he sold to men of old:
for him to sell
some lies we tell.
Goods like leaves sunburn unrooted
Abundance bought to wither sure
To lie about my age for fame
To lie along the rakes for shame
And when discovered I a store
with truth and life and so much more:
for Him to sell
some truths we tell.
Goods like leaves sunned and deep-rooted
A few seeds sown to blossom sure
Once a buyer at The Liar
Now a buyer at The Truth-er
