Enemies

Make friends
but not enemies.

To lose friends is
easy, but to lose
enemies is difficult
cause even in their
absence you behold
them everywhere,
you don't let go of
them ever, you hold
them in your heart.

The Choice

Give your body
and mind to the
world, it'll destroy
you, kill you
while you're still
alive in an invisible
cage.

Give your body
and mind to the
Self, the bonding
will build you,
heal you while
you're living, it'll free
you from every
bondage.

the mistake

 

Translation of a poem by Mirza Ghalib

সারা জন্ম ধরে একটাই
ভুল করে আসছি,
ধূলো লাগা মুখে আমারই
তবু আয়না পরিষ্কার করে চলেছি। 

---

Throughout my life
my one vital error,
with dust on my face
I kept cleaning the mirror

---

Tout au long de ma vie
ai-je commis une seule erreur, avec de la poussière
tout autour de mon visage
j'ai continué à nettoyer
le miroir

The incomplete rhyme

"Early to bed and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy,
and wise."

Late to bed and late to rise,
Makes a person unhealthy,
craving for wealth,
worried and unwise.
