Urdu Poetry

Don't think you need the special place to talk to
The nature could be your cathedral, decorated with the trees
The altar could be sky , adorned with the clouds whiteness
Singing of the birds akin to angels, rehearsing for the evening service

Here I stay under the ancient music of the leaves
Shaking with the every movement of wind for centuries, maybe
Opening my soul in the revealing monologue for His ears only
Sometime ago another human stood right on this spot, who knows
Begging for forgiveness, asking, testing patience

Lord, let me pray
I do not do it often, but now i feel the need to talk to
The smell of candles, burning in the dark,the saints glaring from the Walls with the sad expressions, juxtaposing all in somber mood
It's better be between the grass and flowers, the air picking up the words, no walls, no buildings , just me and you

by Margaret Gudkov

The cat , disturbed from the sleep, pounced in the air
The yo-yo jumping , up and down, chasing interlopers
His meowing spoiled the peaceful dinner of the dog
Quietly eating in the corner, barked in the loud manner
Stop this nonsense or else, you deal with me right now

The cat did not pay a heed, the chasing started in the house
Continued in yard, where the racoon was eating garbage
He scratched the dog on back, promptly making up to roof
Watching the dog howl in the agonizing pain and laughing
Two squirrels, not in amusing mood, attacked racoon in turn
Sending for the covers, restoring order in this animal chaos

by Margaret Gudkov

with the pretext of sleep
i smear my days

nights are my wonder
during days i wander

waiting for nights
seeking you in dreams

i live through days
with your thoughts in me

that’s all i do
that’s what i want

that’s where i live
that’s how i love

i cage you in my mind
i play you with my thoughts

in these plays of love
in this game of life

this journey is to revel
this life is to reveal

the truth about you
the real about us

i treasure you all, in
chambers of my thoughts

known to my heart
known to my soul

Again I'm so lost in what I love the most
I'm so lost again..so lost in all your sweet
Sweet words of love, and all embraced by
Words of love, my love,and without a rest
You keep enchanting me with words of
True love, my love, pouring down on me.
Like coming down from Heaven Up Above
Like in a dream suddenly became reality...

And that's why I love you with all my
Heart and soul!...and there's more!...
I love you so, for you are my more!...

Now I rest my head upon your more
And on your chest I feel again secure...
Oh, you are the best to be here, for me
And the best that's been and that will be...

And the best to come yet,oh, there is no doubt!
Oh, now won't you keep on singing in my heart...
Today,like yesterday...o,and I can't wait for tonight!

And if I had to relive this life 1000 times or more
I'd still live it the same, looking for your shore...
For there's no other place here better for me
Than right in your heart, when you are with me!
