My mother bore me in the southern wild,
And I am black, but O, my soul is white!
White as an angel is the English child,
But I am black, as if bereaved of light

Love Secrets

Ever seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth move
Silently, invisibly.

I wandered lonely as a cloud   
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Urdu Poem: Allama Iqbal: Dil

Qissa-a dar-o-rasan bazi-ye tiflana-a dil
Iltija-a, arini, surkhi-ye afsanah-a dil
YaRabb iis saghiray labrez ki mey kiya ho gi
Jadah-a mulkay baqa hay khatay pemanah-a dil
Abr-e-rehmat tha keh thi ishq ki bijli YaRabb!
Jal ga-e mazra-a hasti tto oga dana-a dil
Husn ka ganjay giran mayah tujhay mil jata
Ttu nay farhad! nah khoda kabhi wiranah-a dil
Arsh ka hay kabhi ka’bay ka hay dhoka iis par
Kis ki manzil hay Ilahi! mira kashanah-a dil
Iis ko apna hay junun oor mujhay soda apna

Urdu Poem: Mirza Ghalib: Naqsh Faryadi

Naqsh faryadi, hay kis ki shokhi-ye tehrir ka
Kaghzi hay perahan, har pekaray tehrir ka
Ka-o kaway sakht jani haye tanhai nah puch
Subh karna sham ka, lana hay ju-a shir ka
