i simplify life
clear my closets
pay my debts
ask & offer
forgiveness.
Warm,
mitten like
friends
hold my hand.

I nurture life
deadhead
spent,
unsightly roses.
My life-garden
highlights
nature’s perfection
unalloyed.

I revere life
in all forms
peace, love,
compassion.
I believe
goodness
finds a home
in me.

I then await
my reward
from
the ancient Gods
of
wisdom.

Ok, a quick test for you Sultan...

these three famous paragraphs are from which urdu ghazal...?

....i'm testing the integrity of the translation...

Longing for that which my heart can never erase.
Searching for that which i can never embrace.

Ask and I shall return any time you want
For I'm not that past which you can never retrace.

Poison is scarce to come by, or else beloved
Its not (like) that promise which i can never partake.
