To the Creator

In the meadows the cow-boys playing in a pensive mood

To enjoy lives with no borrow, no anxiety,

But to depend on their destiny,

Only to satisfy their lord's necessity.

Cuckoo sings on the bough and playing pleasantly,

Jll-fated boys to listen to their tunes

And tuning own pipes in a skilled hand,

which turns the widows to their couple's soul

Departed a few years back to the eternity.

To count their sin and vice approximately.

Green crops and fields spread a sheet of pleasure

Waving and noding heads with measure

To comply with creation of nature

Cereal for our hunger to meet up

Daily expectation,

Fruits and water to serve our passion.

Cattle and poultry for our health and plysique,

To cure in disease by milk and wine

Gratitude to show Him by thine.

Wind blows to heal you

And your community.

Trees and plants give the food and luxuries

To bend and vow to the Creator for His mercy

That's why beasts and birds saying

prayer devotedly in privacy.

The cat and the mouse

Oh, mouse! "You're very nice to me"

"I'm a tiny creature! what can I do to thee?"

"But why're you too far? come forward!"

The mouse with a trembling heart to him answered

"It's a great fear to see thyne moustache

Always ready I'm to be detached".

The greedy cat inviting him to dinner

Didn't know the mouse, last to suffer,

Hesitating to be entertained thereon

The mouse trying to get admission

The cat flattered too much to his guest

Admired him graciously to his best.

Chilly mouse as soon as got into the den,

The cat having no delay jumped ov'r then,

Seeking pardon again and again

The mouse fell on the ground

Lastly the way to save him not found.

The greedy cat heartily and merrily

Has its stomach in full

Thus the mouse becomes fool

And dies, hear we no more his 'call.'

Tonight

For us this night is very memorable forever.

The sky is on the top within dim star's cover

When both of us have happiness and fever,

Just then the moon is shinning from over.

This charming night is only for you and me.

Love each other to keep head on the knee.

If wish; the moon, stars and nature can see.

Others are sleeping to night so we are free.

Talk, keeps hand in hands and heads to bend,

At smiling face, like more than bosom friend,

Tonight, on the beautiful soundless land and,

Hope and believe that this night never end.

Forget eternally all misery and pathetic past.

Our heartfelt deep love remains till last,

And aspiration will fulfil within short time,

But should try to pass our lives without crime.

In the sky there are many bright and dim stars.

Twinkling star's light is coming from too far.

Now, in our hearts and minds, there is no fear,

Because tonight, we are staying very near.

This night is the night for love, hope and dream!

Souls and minds are exciting with moon-beam.

Stream of love passing over the heaven's brim,

And time is passing like watching amazing film.

Don't like, let the night to become fade or die.

To this hopeful night, not like to say goodbye.

As birds and fairies, like to fly in the free sky,

And like to see all beauty of mystery with eye.

May be this night can offer more than heaven

All grieves, malice and baits just has graven.

If heavenly angels like then can come down

To see our joy that more than with royal crown.

Long time we have been waiting for tonight

To see calm and bright magnificent natural sight.

Both of us agree and ready to celebrate a rite,

With blessing of God like to establish our night.

Tonight, with heartbeats we talk by closely sit.

Star's dim light and night breeze come to meet.

God's heaven and being's nature are our witness.

Giving special thanks to God for this loveliness!
