LOVE FOR LIFE

Love for life

It's a window always lit

In the colder dark of nights.

It’s a sweet stillness always

evolving…

The lighthose of our consciences.

And the sweet murmur of waters

Now calm still lying on the moist

salt sand

Then they crash on rocks naked

violently.

And I immerse my heart in this symbiosis

That keeps me still throbbing…

Ditched to the invisibile wire…

It always held

My breath.

This is my love for life!

MISERLY YOU WILL GO

A shivering homeless guards his cardboard

As a precious bed

But if his friend stretches out Limbs on the ground

He gives it to him.

And you that hold riches, feelings

If you still have…

Possessions to embrace in your emptiness

Soul vault

You will feel no need to share

In the stingy righteousness of Your barren logic.

Than, to give others a piece

of you

It would be too human and Unbecoming

Poor man…

Within your lonely and rich walls

Of velvets and candelabra

There is no light to shine, not even For you

alone.

And when your last step yields to the

Divine world

Your memorabilia will remain Between the worms of time

To wear out…

And no one will mourn a foolish loneliness

Of a golden trench

But so shabby and useless.

Miser you will go to meet the ways

Of the beyond.

SUNFLOWERS OF LIGHT

Sunflowers of light

I saw a field of sunflowers

Under the immensity of blue skies.

Soon the sun will warm them

Until they burn

But the splendor will quench their thirst

At sunset...

They will be alive

And harbingers of the colors of gold

Of life which, in spite of Everything

Luxuriant unfolds

On our smiles.

They are sunflowers of light

Keepers of our steps.

Poem - Peace Is Possible

PEACE IS POSSIBLE

DR. ASHOK KUMAR

Let's serve to mankind in the entire society

Let's learn for knowledge with thoughts of non-violence

Let's believe in ourselves do miracles when get chance

Peace is possible with great patience

Let's believe in selflessness and sacrifices to avoid wars

Let's be helping hands for nation

Have faith in almighty , we're his creation

Humble heart appeal to all for true generosity

With our true actions peace and prosperity is possible in the entire society

Poem - True Worth

True Worth

Dr. Omatee Ann Marie Hansraj

It's not about who wants you,

But who sees your true worth,

Who values and respects you,

And knows the joy you birth.

Not just desire or fleeting glance,

But a heart that holds you dear,

In respect's tender dance,

In love, without fear.

For wanting fades like twilight's hue,

But value remains, steadfast and true,

In respect, love finds its due,

In cherished moments, love renews.

So seek not just a wanting gaze,

But a heart that values, respects, and stays,

In such a love, let your spirit blaze,

In true worth, findy our lasting praise.

Strange Days

EVA Petropoulou Lianou

Strange behaviour

People are not going to correct direction

Like birds or whales

They lost their orientation

They are killing eachother

THey are jealous

They don't want the best of the neighbor

Earth is tired of humans

War

EVA Petropoulou Lianou

The first word

Babies said before they walk in

Palestine

Shame to this humanity

How can you be happy

When in the other side

THey are sacrifing babies

Thousands babies

Pray for the souls of the innocents

POEM - DREAM BELIEVE SURVIVE

DREAM BELIEVE SURVIVE

Dr. Frieda Norma Dela Cruz

Philippines

Trembling at dawn, dreaming,

Always too soon the morning light would appear again.

My dream would be gone,

I would reach to hold it,

but too quickly it would fade.

Awakening, I would find myself alone.

The day has turned gray,

and the sky threatens rain.

Joy and colors of the dream have gone once again,

But just as the sun is somewhere beyond the clouds, the dream lives on, just beyond this moment.

And knowing that it would be there and that it would come again,

Over the years I would work each day

So that the wonder of its promise might find fruition.

Soon, I thought, soon. Not tomorrow.

Believe and work, I would tell myself.

Believe in dreams and work with joy.

And then when the world turns around, and starlight and sunlight gently merge, you will find yourself in a shimmering place,

And you will know you have travelled all the way home.

Poem - So Many Are There! Dr. Dipika Bhatt ( India)

So Many Are There!

Dr. Dipika Bhatt ( India)

So many words are there without any useful meaning!

So many hearts are there without any conflict cleaning!

So many brains are there without any imaginative feeling!

So many friends are there without any emotional dealing!

So many incidents are there without any expectation of meeting!

So many conversations are there without any meaningful and meaningless healing!

So many smiles are there without any intention of anyone's heart killing!

So many conditions are there without any reason and logical reasoning!

So many satires are accurate without any rejected meaning

Which reflects a person's mental state and whole being!

এত আছে!

ড. দীপিকা ভাট (ভারত)

অনুবাদ: মোঃ ইজাজ আহামেদ

কোন দরকারী অর্থ ছাড়াই এত শব্দ আছে!

দ্বন্দ্ব পরিস্কার ছাড়া এত হৃদয় আছে!

এত মস্তিষ্ক আছে কোন কল্পনাপ্রসূত অনুভূতি ছাড়াই!

এত বন্ধু আছে কোন আবেগী আচরণ ছাড়াই!

এত ঘটনা সেখানে মিলনের কোনো প্রত্যাশা ছাড়াই!

এত কথোপকথন সেখানে কোন অর্থপূর্ণ ও অর্থহীন নিরাময় ছাড়াই!

এত হাসি কারো হৃদয় হত্যার অভিপ্রায় ছাড়াই !

এত শর্ত কোন কারণ ও যৌক্তিক যুক্তি ছাড়াই!

কোন প্রত্যাখ্যাত অর্থ ছাড়াই বিদ্রুপ সঠিক এত

যা একজন ব্যক্তির মানসিক অবস্থা এবং সমগ্র সত্তাকে করে প্রতিফলিত !

** The following Poetry written by Poetess Visiliki Kalahan from Greece on the Birthday of Bangladeshi poet M .A Matin.

The letter

Tis the full Moon tonight

Still l can't see it in the Sky

As if it's vanished

And it doesn't want us to see it

As if it's gone and doing something else...

My painting is still wet

And it's you my friend

You came in your youth

On my paper

With a knitted pullover on..

Green and blue it is

With a little red on it

The heart that's life that naturally flows..

I know the loneliness of the hearts

I know the poets' solitude

I know the bitterness

I know the cries

I know the flight of the crows...

Still my letter must be written and sent

Because l know the generosity of the spirit

I know the nobleness

I know the trees' wand

That gently touches our forehead and hands..

A cricket is singing..

It's somewhere on the house's wall

It's behind me and it's suddenly, sadly stopped..

Sing cricket! Sing!

Oh yes, it's singing!

It listened to my thoughts and it's steadily continuing..

Go to this other world my friend

And peacefully stay there, please,

There where religions don't fight anymore

And the Earth is so humble and kind..

I hear the cicadas singing softly now

It's September still they are insisting

To pay close company to us

Because they know the poets that are alone..

Loneliness, loneliness a horrible word

But poets endure and live there..

A mystic door always opens

And calls for us to go inside..

Sometimes a signal, a flare is sent from the heart

That goes up to the dark black, glorious Sky..

Strength must be pronounced

And a new day's omen

For the bird that is dying in its dreadful cage..

How many deaths have we?

Have we counted them all?

Millions..endless they are

that have the same meaning..

To devour us and leave us with our bones alone

Drifting on the icy seas..

I am dizzy, l am upset,

Are you well my dear poet?

I feel pain right in my third eye...

I send you light now with the poets' god and mighty teacher

For you to become well once more...

The letter was written

It was sent with the spirits

To pass quickly over the open seas..

It is only for you my friend

Not to be told elsewhere

A poetic caress in this night's flow

That connects the minds of the poets and puts the horrible pain aside...

Dedicated to you my dear Poet Abdul Matin

Take care and be strong...

Your friend from Greece

POEM - THE LAST LETTER OF MINE !

THE LAST LETTER OF MINE !

Words must have clung to your heart

When you tore the last letter of mine

Removed rose petals from your books

Now your tears roll down for fear of loss

All our long cherished wishes fall apart

You remember when you stole my heart

You made stolen thing the house of God

You used to take my name while praying

You were afraid of missing me forever

Mere words and they were retracted

We both were lost and dissolved in love

I'm yet to find my destination sans you.

PIEM - I WILL SAY SALUTE TO YOU

I WILL SAY SALUTE TO YOU

Yusuf Aslan

Oh my beloved, with a hundred hearts and a hundred souls

If I had, I would sacrifice to you

I promise you my strange soul at any moment, my dear

I would say salute to you

My dear, we are soldiers who have given our hearts to this love

We walk around in these hands as friends

We sacrifice ourselves to each other

I give my dear friend whenever you want

My heart is in mourning when I am without you

Believe me, I will not show it to my enemy or friend

My rosy face, my beautiful eyes, ask for them

As long as you tell me, I will give them to you right away

I have a trust from the One Who created me

I have a time to ask for it one day

Oh my beautiful, I have another trust

I give words from every book

I don't know who loves the strange servant

That which you don't like is worthless

Friend Yusuf If I were a sultan

I would say "Can Princess" and give a decree

Poems

Childhood

Muhammad Gaddafi ( Libya)

Childhood

Immersed in the childhood of my mistakes,

Cannot distinguish an earthworm

From its mole.

I told the tree; my beloved

Then it bent to the wind

I thought the bird was a bullet,

I threw myself on the ground,

When it flew away.

I slept with the clock,

So orgasm arriving late,

At the Viagra time.

I tried to hide behind my shoes,

But it betrayed me,

Moving aside.

I walked crookedly,

Throwing shadows with a stone,

It bounced back as bullets and bleeding wane moons.

*Translated into English by Suzan Ibrahim

After the Disappointment

Muhammad Gaddafi Masoud

I watch it, it doesn't rain

I come taken, with what

I carry from certainty

Then after the disappointment

Except the dream.

Tale

On the verge of a tale

Seagull fell, in

The water .

Messages

Boiling the messages

The end invisibility

Palm trees, are falling

In the valley of the flutes

Her gazes

Were broken our lips on

The sight of her gaze .

lumberjack

Gather firewood

Bleeding sun

Selled the horizon

At auction .

Happiness

Lump from barking

The happiness

Division

Divides the laughter itself

On itself

Who closes the door of, a-ha

*Translated by Neina Al-Sartawi

Waiting For the New to Be Announced

Muhammad Gaddafi Masoud

Decide your will around me

A circle

Fix it as a hang

Making it loose is forbidden that expands

In a narrow way.

When the narrow approaches a father

Who put it’s shadow on us.

Masters of the night become drank

Singing with speech at the beginning of

The down in the end of the feast.

Waiting for the new to be announced

Shooting his last cry, a masculine getting

Old the king of the hard.

And the master of the feminine.

When there is no other masculine.

Poem - Love Is a Prayer of God

Love Is a Prayer of God

Dr. Dipika Bhatt

To live for someone is to live in the heart of God!

To win the belief of someone is to get the blessings of the lord!

To love someone is to love God!

To pray for someone is to pray for the greatest in the whole universe that is none but dear Lord!

Love never needs no religion, no caste, no citizenship for fulfilling any loved relation my dear!

Love needs only love and a little respective care!

In every prayer of any religion admiration of love is the base!

Even we find praise of love lore in spiritual rhymes, holy books and through the epic of literary history ever going in the universal case!

Every legend poet, writer and singer sings the blessings of God through love in their musical story notes!

Because love has only power on the earth to change the mindset of God, humane and even it can change the environment challenging wrath and routes!

If you want to be blessed by the Almighty in your life on the earth!

Then clean your mind and heart and make your soul more valuable and divert your mind from the useless materialistic worth!

Though different names of Almighty are there...Allaha!Bhagwan!Khuda! God!Moula! Malik and Rub!

But the way of reward and punishment is unique and equal in Almighty's court in the selection process of the general hub!

Life is full of mystery, excitement and a mixture of wishes to fulfill a purposeful birth in this powerful orbit of earth !

In every religion the ways of prayer may be different but the morals and lessons are same that is being a human you should spread peace and love on the earth from the starting of your precious birth!

As we all want God's blessings and a lovable hug!

Then we should respect His decision and keep patience for

His returning chide on our deeds of life and never show your disobedience, no false tears and no shrug!

Poem - Peace, Love, Unity

Peace, Love, Unity

Dr. Frieda Norma Dela Cruz

Philippines

When your mind is full of love

There is also peace in your heart

You can’t go wrong, even a bit

For love always fosters peace.

You can sing a song and sing

It strong

With love and peace of mind,

you can’t go wrong

A beautiful sign to sing along

Showers of blessings, you are strong.

If love and peace unite,

Heart and Soul open the light

There’s no need for blood to spill

And discard away the former drill.

With love and peace we have it made

Hearing sacred songs of serenade

The emphasis on being free

The message conveyed PEACE, LOVE AND UNITY.

Poems

KUJTIM HAJDARI - ALBANIA

Kujtim Hajdari was born in Hajdaraj, on April 10, 1956, in the city of Lushnjë, Albania. He completed high school, mechanical studies, and later pursued university studies in language and literature in Elbasan. He initially worked as a mechanic, and after graduating from university, he became a teacher of language and literature in High Schools.

He started writing at a young age, with his poems and creations being published in the local newspaper and magazines like"Shkendija," "Drita" and "Zëri i rinisë" during his middle school and high school years. After completing high school, he prepared three volumes: one of poetry titled "Will Spring Come?", one of short stories titled "The Violinist," and a drama titled "Sleepless Nights." However, his works did not see the light of publication due to political reasons.

After the change in the political system, he went into exile in Italy, where he spent many years before eventually settling in the USA. For a long period of time, he stopped writing due to the demoralisation caused by the non-publication of his volumes and the threats he faced as a dissident writer, as well as the challenges of family and the difficulties of exile. He started writing again, after a hiatus of about 25 years, composing poetry in Albanian, Italian, and more recently, in English.

Both in Italy and the USA, he continues to write and be active, occasionally publishing volumes of poetry, participating in various national and international competitions, and sharing his poetry on numerous online platforms and in different publications. His themes cover a wide range of topics, with a significant focus on the issues and challenges of exile. He primarily writes structured poetry but also experiments successfully with free verse.

THE UNSEENS

They move through the shadows like bad dreams,

In their corners of the night, hidden, dark,

Where they squeeze misery between pain and tears,

Until the rays of dawn awaken them, trembling.

Above my head and eyes, I have the endless city,

Tall buildings in clouds that graze the sky,

Wide streets that find no end, and flowers

Full of color and fragrance that bring me spring.

For them, this world is foreign, distant, buried,

They no longer have hands or feet to touch that life,

Perhaps a desire, a buried dream, they remember,

But they no longer have the strength or eyes to follow it.

Everyone runs relentlessly for luxury and wealth,

Man is never satisfied, always seeking a better life,

This dizzying race, for them, only brings wonder,

For those, the phantoms of society, with a weary spirit.

Someone exhausted, broken, with no strength left,

No longer ventures out, extending a hand for charity,

Rummaging through trash bins to find something to eat,

With cries and garbage, their spirit is drawn away.

No one sees them, pretending not to notice,

They remain the ghosts of misery living among us,

Some whisper that they pollute us so much,

Somebody who have never seen misery in life.

WHY DO WE DO THIS?

How much we massacre this life,

We run with fury, like crazy we run,

To take a day, beyond there, a ground's handful,

In the eternal world from which we won't return.

We run to accumulate as much wealth as possible,

We run eagerly to attain power,

We run angry for fame and glory,

As if will live on this earth forever.

We trample the beauty of life underfoot,

Often nurturing and feeding nastiness and evil,

We hurt each other, friends and brothers,

Losing logic as much we snatch up weapons.

We reach the sunsets of worn-out years,

We see how much they have killed and defeated us,

Those tired, trampled, and broken years,

And we weep for our lost paths in life.

No one turns back or comes back,

In a dawn of April, to start from the beginning,

Only a longing and a sorrow remain, burning us,

Leading us to irreversible sunsets, tormenting us.

We weep for something we did without thinking,

And we lost, we broke with people around us,

Like autumn leaves falling to the ground,

We weep for the wasted years of life.

We weep for a sweet word left unspoken,

A flower of spring that we couldn't catch the scent,

In the shadows of graves where we left our joys,

Where the soul drips with a voice that hurts.

Why do we do this...!?

MAYBE YOU WILL COME ONE DAY

The first spring flowers have bloomed again,

The clouds move as if searching for something in the sky,

Here below, amidst the greenery, only you are missing,

And this morning sun brings me your image.

Walking beside me, the longing you left behind,

And this gentle breeze pushes me into your footsteps,

In the chirping of the birds, your songs sleep,

And I wake them up, to hear those songs as much as I want!

I enjoyed the spring mornings again, so much,

Where the beautiful legs you get wet, once, with dew,

The birds following in the endless greenery,

Smiling sweetly when you said "Good morning!"

I enjoy the mornings so much again,

As long as hope is not lost that you will come one day,

As long as your memories follow me as they used to,

As long as all the loves ignite in my soul.

Maybe you will come one day, perhaps with a different name,

Like a beloved Eve descending from the sky,

With the warmth and love that only a woman has,

REBORN THE HEART

Don't take my sun...

Don't turn off the moon..

Don't steal the wind from me...

Don't drain the river...

Don't take the colors from the flowers...

Not even the flying wings of butterflies...

The world no, don't strip me on that one...

Don't leave the word unfrozen on my lips...

Do not tear down the mountains that are dripping with tears for me ...

Don't cut down the forests, bury the greenery today..

Rays of light don't disturb me...

Leave me with the whistle and sing with me...

You brighten the rainbow after every rain with a smile

What are you doing to the man?? !

Dissolved, it remained like a candle...

The old man is gray, the young man is also gray...

Don't grab the clouds, the stars in the twilight....

Don't strangle a life with thieving hands....

What are you doing to the earth, to the air you breathe?!

Over the edge, I sit miserable....

Where did you lose your smile?!

Family, joy, forgiveness, where have you hidden?!

Land in misery, that snatched the sun...

He exchanged his heart with the spirit of the night...

World, world without sun, world without white clouds

Be born again, it's not too late to be born golden hearts...

ROSE WOMAN

Fragrance released, thorned skin

A certain desire it evokes

Like a bird you soar, calling, crying

Reviving a soul and making it king

A hot breath reigns over that lip

And yet you seek lips again

Holding a fire that never extinguishes

A warm scent, a scent of life, a rose

Two eyes that close like two petals

Ignite a star

Silk skin, white skin

Blinded it remains

Life calls with the name Woman on a rose

Like a fiery longing, love is born

It keeps my name...

The name "Woman"

(Translated into Kujtim Hajdari)

Poem - Hunt in Private, Heal in Silence, Glow in Public

Hunt in Private, Heal in Silence, Glow in Public

Dr. Omatee Ann Marie Hansraj (Trinidad and Tobago)

In the shadows, quietly we strive,

Unseen efforts, where dreams come alive.

A relentless pursuit, with courage and might,

Hunting in private, away from the light.

In the stillness, where no one can see,

We mend our hearts, and set ourselves free.

Silent whispers, tender and kind,

Healing in silence, peace we find.

When the wounds are mended, and strength is regained,

We step into the light, no longer restrained.

Radiant and powerful, our spirit shows,

Glowing in public, as our confidence grows.

From quiet battles and whispered prayer,

Emerges a soul, beyond compare.

Hunt in private, heal in silence,

Glow in public, with grace and resilience.

POEM - WHERE PEACE DWELLS….!!!

WHERE PEACE DWELLS….!!!

Parvinder Nagi

Peace dwells

…..in the beacon of hope

In the gleam of lights

In the gentle breeze

In the rustling leaves

Where lilies bloom

Swaying in the meadows green

Singing of birds on the twigs so sweet

Where the sun shines

Brightening the azure skies

Peace dwells in the giggles of children

Where innocence prevails

It resides in the hearts

Where souls entwine

Intoxicating your senses

With fragrances galore

Leaving you in serenity

And solitude

Judging not the colour nor race

Guiding through the celestial paths

Eradicating the shadows grey

Weaving the tapestry of life

Keeping the secrets so fine

Wading through the waves

Dancing in melodious tunes

Splashing through the tides of time

Cuddled in the nature’s blessings

Each day with bliss of gratitude

Tuning with the world in harmony

Embracing the warmth of relationships

Let’s build peace and harmony

Through the years unveiling the shadows dark…!

কবিতা - সাদা ভাত ও তোফাজ্জেল

সাদা ভাত ও তোফাজ্জেল

অরিন্দম চট্টোপাধ্যায়

মোবাইলের প্যাটার্ণ লক্ খুলতেই

চোখে পড়ছে তোফাজ্জেলের

জল দিয়ে হাত ধুয়ে ভাত খাওয়ার দৃশ্য

সে ঘুড়ে বেড়ায় এপাড়া ওপাড়ায়

বাবা, মা সহোদর সব একে একে

চলে গেছে অনন্তলোকে

ওকে রেখে গেছে এই পৃথিবীর বুকে

বলে গেছিল তারা ওকে বেঁচে বর্তে থাকিস

সে সত্যি বেঁচে বর্তে ছিল

অনন্ত ক্ষিদের আগুন নিয়ে

কতোদিন ভাল করে সাদা ভাতের গ্রাস

তুলে মুখের কাছে নিয়ে যেতে পারে নি

শুধু ঘুড়ে বেড়িয়ে ঘ্রাণ নিয়ে গেছে

আজ সুযোগ এসেছে সত্যি সত্যি

তৃপ্তি ভরে সাদা ভাত খাওয়ার

সে জানে না এই খাওয়ার সুযোগই

যে শেষ বারের মতন সুযোগ

আর কোন দিন ভাতের গ্রাস

তুলে নিতে পারবে না...

পৃথিবীর বুকের ওপর কতো শতাব্দী

নদীর স্রোতের মতো চলে গেল

তবুও আমরা এখনও

সেই হৃদয় হীনই থেকে গেলাম

Poem - Beginning

Beginning

Tanja Ajtic (Serbia/Canada)

I follow you with difficulties

In these dangerous times,

In this now and here,

Where unpleasant experiences and memories

Are quickly forgotten and replaced with

Other thoughts and deeds.

Day and night change too fast

Like the Sun and the Moon,

It's a short day.

We all come to an end

Where there is a new beginning,

And I slowed down,

I'm looking for your glance persistently

To find out

How much time has left to us in the world?

I trust you,

Because you are a dreamer.

শুরু

তানজা অ্যাজটিক (সার্বিয়া/ কানাডা)

অনুবাদ: মোঃ ইজাজ আহামেদ (ভারত)

আমি অসুবিধার সঙ্গে তোমাকে অনুসরণ করি

এই বিপদজনক সময়গুলিতে,

এই এখন এবং এখানে,

যেখানে অপ্রীতিকর অভিজ্ঞতা এবং স্মৃতি

দ্রুত ভুলে যাওয়া হয় এবং প্রতিস্থাপিত হয়

অন্যান্য চিন্তা এবং কাজ দিয়ে।

দিন এবং রাত খুব দ্রুত বদলে যায়

সূর্য ও চাঁদের ন্যায়,

এটি একটি ছোট দিবস।

আমরা শেষে আসি সব

একটি নতুন শুরু যেথায়,

আর আমি কমিয়ে দিলাম গতি,

আমি অবিরাম খুঁজছি তোমার দৃষ্টি

খুঁজে বের করতে

পৃথিবীতে আমাদের আর কত সময় বাকি আছে?

আমি তোমাকে বিশ্বাস করি,

কারণ তুমি একজন স্বপ্নদর্শী।

A Sonnet to Poet-editor Md Ejaj Ahamed, India

Ridendick Mitro ( India )

From Murshidabad, Bengal, India, dear,

You write in English from that native soil,

There you with fantacy in a fairy-tale

Fly like a lonely bird as deep appeared.

Where the old and gold villages breathe there,

Kinds of huge histories live with silent scale,

The paths are alone too much nicely pale

That supervise our senses deeply rare.

Yeah, here first the British won the plassey,

It was a schemish war by Robert Clive,

Nawab Siraj ud-daulah lost his throne.

And dates back of further histories to see,

Where you sit by an window in sunrise,

And discover the far-reaching creation.

Procrastination

Procrastination
Dr. Frieda Norma Dela Cruz (Philippines)

Procrastination is like a thief
You lose time in quiet grief
If task not done at the right time
Surely, you break the rules of golden time.

In every tick of the cycling clock
Dreams deferred under lock
A cycle spun of ‘not just yet’
A volume of excuses finely set.

Yet, in this subtle thief, a lesson hides
In every day, opportunity resides
To cut the cycle, take the leap
For time is precious, not to keep.

Time is never enough
Time is easy but also rough
Time can make you happy or sad,
Time is something you want more, but never had.

গড়িমসি
ড. ফ্রিদা নরমা ডেলা ক্রুজ (ফিলিপাইন)
অনুবাদ: মোঃ ইজাজ আহামেদ (ভারত)

গড়িমসি চোরের মতো
তুমি শান্ত শোকে হারাও সময়
যদি সঠিক সময়ে কাজ না হয়
অবশ্যই, তুমি সুবর্ণ সময়ের নিয়ম ভঙ্গ করো।

আবর্তনময় ঘড়ির প্রতিটি টিক টিকে
স্বপ্নরা বিলম্ব করেছিল তালার অধীনে
একটি চক্র ' নয় এখনও'
অজুহাতের একটি ভলিউম পরিশেষ প্রতিষ্ঠিত।

তবুও, এই চতুর চোরের মধ্যে, একটি পাঠ লুকিয়ে আছে
প্রতিটি দিনে, সুযোগ থাকে
কালচক্র কাটতে, লাফ নিতে
কারণ সময় মূল্যবান, রাখার জন্য নয়।

সময় কখনই যথেষ্ট নয়
সময় সহজ কিন্তু রুক্ষ
সময় তোমাকে করতে পারে সুখী বা দুঃখিত,
সময় এমন একটি জিনিস যা তুমি আরও বেশি চাও, কিন্তু পাওনি কখনও।

Poem - Walk On

WALK ON

Jasmina Cirkovic

Walk on in the time of pus that engulfs relics and saints,

The orator sits and weaves his hair, and the earth lays down its butterflies.

In the created robe of terror, where the terrible echoes of reptiles crawl,

The guardians of the place were born and behold, the heavens and the earth merged

To the wonder of the world like a worn-out dress flies to be worn by the fate of the damned.

Here I am born, my sword still cuts and countless swords in a swarm fly,

Taste the ghost under the cloak as the blade of the word shines.

Feel the crown of the handle - the cross, and the blessing of the holy fathers,

But no force will bring Christ to the ground of blood like that again.

Judi give judi pay him well off the planet

The ducat is not worth it, move on while the universe sleeps

And the cursed one whose head flies, the prayer was hidden

In the flood of words,

To show them a bright face!

Poem - Children`s Rights

Children's Rights
Mehrangiz Talaiezadeh

My golden sun of childhood never rose
Childhood sun never came up to cosmos
Only doll would wipe my sorrowful tears
The only beloved among my dears
Only she can talk me of my passions
Of my own rights and my own emotions
World! Who saw my childhood hidden sorrow?
When my tearful face, was under pillow
World! who could eye my childhood on global?
Except for my speechless kind cloth dumb doll
My sunflower of childhood hadn't grown
My spinning top of my fate never spun
I was dreaming dreamy balloon at night
Playing with my sky stars and white birds, high
Playing with cheer under the love sunbeams
Now, I'm at peace with geting childhood dreams
My orphaned heart needs the lap of mother
An warm smile with caress of the father
Schooling highly is my own fully right
Playing with high peace, without any fight
World! give me the chance of going to school
The right to play with my own childhood role
World! lullaby me with your kind cradle
I dream hopes with your motherly carol
I want to be your child in worldwide full
My desire's the child rights and inner lull

Poem - Different Lives

Different Lives.

Ro Ashiqe

In the morning light, we rise the same,

Rohingya walks paths with different names

Like Rohingya old and new—a song of peace.

Hands that build and hands that break,

In our hearts, we yearn for the same,

To live, to love, to know our name.

There are your life, my life, and the lives of refugees.

For we are different; Rohingya are much alike,

And if we pause and truly see,

In our differences, there’s unity.

We rise from the same sun.

My home is a memory, is washed by the sea,

I walk on the roads of dreams and light,

And the stars don’t always appear.

We are much the same.

You long for peace, I long for land,

To build again with my own hands.

And in the silence of the night, I find,

Notes: “Different Lives” from a Rohingya, touching on displacement, and those who live in stable conditions.

About the Poet

Ro Ashiqe was born at bahasara, Maung Daw in the Myanmar and Arakan State. He was born on April 15, 1997. When he was seven years old, he was sent to school.
