My College bells,

  Still ringing in my ears.

Lot o’things it tells,

Everything is Funny

A girl was crying,
When her grandma was dying.

A sick woman was weeping,
When the entire village was sleeping.

A lazy man was yawning,
When it was almost morning.

A boy was crying for cheese,
When the pacifiers were appealing for peace.

Children were happily shouting,
When the flowers began sprouting.

Beaux were singing,
When the moon started springing.

My friends were joking,
When I told them to give up smoking.

Under blue sky,

On green branches.

In Politics, they say....

“In politics”, they say, “ there’re no permanent friends neither permanent enemies”. May be because there’s no permanent policy.

In Politcs

With a Foolish Friend I’d Rather Be

With a foolish friend I’d rather be

In the jungle,

Than with a wise enemy

In a Garden.

Man explores

His own amazement.

I pray

Evening in a Village

The twilight has a strange power,
Brings with it the aroma of evening flower.

Evening,when calm an’pale,

I listen to the chinkings o’the early nightingale.

Birds o’different feather,

Fly to their respective nests together.

Fishing boats returning to’ards the shore,

The beautiful sight I really adore.

Farmers and vendors, homewards bound,

They’ve to reach their homes before the dark’s around.

In the shore ladies assemble to chat’bout men an’matters,

There’s an old man who often flatters.

The evening breeze which blows from the west,

When the cool breeze touches me, I’m in my best.

Noor Jehan, “ The Singing Queen”

Noor Jehan,the unforgettable name,
The songstress who is still a fame.
In Radio, your songs were relayed,
In my cd player, your songs were often played.
'Anmol Ghadi' songs, you sang well in BBC,
Coz in melodies,you knew abc...
Your acting and your melodious voice,
Makes my heart rejoice.
When it comes to 'Noor Jehan Songs, I'm so crazy,
Frequently your songs I play when I'm too lazy.
I like to mention without any fear,
Ace actress cum songstress, you were of yester-year.
I don't like to compare you with any other,

You're the singing queen and my God-mother.

The Lady I Adore

 Gazing at the moon,

 Posing from the balcony,

 Wearing the richest costume 

 And a charming smile.

 Humming like a mermaid,

 In a romantic way,

 Feet tapping rythmically

 For a love-song o’some sort.

 Whom she’s looking for 

 And her notions?

 I’m eager to know,

 Coz she’s

 The Lady I adore.

 ~ M Rezvie Omerdeen (11/02/2007)

Poem of the Day “The Lady I Adore “

The World Has a Heart

I pray

I pray that everything will be back to normal by the grace of Almighty Allah.

East or West , Home is the Best

  East or west,

  Home is the best.

  Take some rest,

  Don’t call any guest.

  Enjoy your home fest,

  Don’t have an outgoing zest.

  This is our life saving test.

  So be in your nest;

  This is the entire world’s request.
