Poem: Time

You remind me of the days when we were young and In control so we thought
Then blew the gust and the wind nothing stood the ground
Nothing was the same a sea change blew over
You sit before me hair turned grey after decades we met
Your dear friend and our dearest youngest brother no more
You opened the flood gate of memories Sweet fond memories of bygone days
Auld Lang syne way behind lost in the mist of time
Fleeting memories come and go and Sweet faces of yesterday
Time didn’t stand still it moved on and today we sit reminiscing of the days long gone
Good to see you my friend you bring back to me fond Sweet memories

Omar Khayyam: To wisely live

To wisely live your life, you don't need to know much
Just remember two main rules for the beginning:
You better starve, than eat whatever
And better be alone, than with whoever.

Urdu Poem by Nadir

کاش سنا دیتا جو بات تھی کہہ دیتا
مگر کیا کرین کوئ تھا ہی نہی سنے کو
بات اپنے تک رھے گئ پہنچانہین سکا
وقت تو ٹہر تا نہین گزر جاتا ھے
چہرے بدل جاتے نئے آ تے پرانے چلے جاتے
کچھ یادین ایسی ھوتی ھین بھولے نہ بھلائے جاتے
کچھ چہرےایسےھوتے جو ہمیشہ یاد رہتے
