Leonard Cohen- NEVERMIND ,Popular problems(Lyrics)
"Nevermind"
The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line
I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well disguised
I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You’ll never find
The story’s told
With facts and lies
I had a name
But never mind
Never mind
Never mind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don’t know which
So never mind
Your victory
Was so complete
That some among you
Thought to keep
A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore
Our spoons our knives
The games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut
The songs we made
Our law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads
A wife commands
And all of this
Expressions of
The Sweet Indifference
Some call Love
The High Indifference
Some call Fate
But we had Names
More intimate
Names so deep and
Names so true
They’re blood to me
They’re dust to you
There is no need
That this survive
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
There’s truth that lives...
I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them
Whom you despise
This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well
I’m not surprised
You’re of their kin
You’re of their kind
Never mind
Never mind
I had to leave
my life behind
The story’s told
With facts and lies
You own the world
So never mind
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
I live it full
I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can’t divide
My woman’s here
My children too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you
In places deep
With roots entwined
I live the life I left behind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line
I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well disguised

Hadith Qudsi
Allah's mercy:
Hadith Qudsi:
Hadith Qudsi:
The Prophet (Sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) mentioned that Allah said:-Myself, Mankind and Jinn are in a great serious state. I create them, then they worship other gods that they make for themselves; I bless them with my bounties, then they thank someone else for what I sent them; My Mercy descends to them while their evil deeds ascend to Me; I endear them with my gifts even though I have no need to for any of them, while they alienate themselves from Me with their sins even though they are desperate for my help. Whoever returns to Me, I accept him no matter how far he is; and whoever turns away from Me, I approach him and call on him. Whoever leaves a sin for my sake, I reward him with many gifts and whoever seeks to please Me, I seek to please him. Whoever acknowledges My Will and Power in whatever he does, I make the iron bend for his sake. My dear people are those who are with Me. Whoever thanks Me, I grant him more blessings; whoever obeys Me, I raise him and endear him more. Whoever disobeys Me, I keep the doors of My Mercy open for him; if he returns to Me, I bestow him with My Love, since I love those who repent and purify themselves for My Sake. If he does not repent, I still treat him by putting him in hardship to purify him. Whoever favors Me over others, I favor them over others. I reward every single good deed ten times over or seven hundred times over to countless times over. I count every single bad deed as one unless the person repents and asks for My Forgiveness in which case I forgive even that one. I take into account any little good deed and I forgive even major sins. My Mercy supersedes My Anger; My Tolerance supersedes My Blame; My Forgiveness supersedes My Punishment, as I am more merciful with My slaves than a mother with her child.

Chinese Poem
I stumbled
into this book you gave to me
can't
recall if it was for my birthday.
I've kept
it somewhere in my shelf since then
as if there’s
going to be a more perfect moment
to go and
read it.
I've had
this acknowledgement several times
when I do, I
go and read again that poem you marked for me
(I haven’t
even been able to read another one)
The poem
just depicts a mountain
its strength
and beauty.
So many
words that showed stillness
the weight
of earth and the beauty of green
Myself
stood there
just
watching the dance of the clouds
pass by.

Пусть бегут неуклюже
Пешеходы по лужам, А вода - по асфальту рекой. И неясно прохожим В этот день непогожий, Почему я веселый такой. Припев: Я играю на гармошке У прохожих на виду... К сожаленью, день рожденья Только раз в году. К сожаленью, день рожденья Только раз в году. Прилетит вдруг волшебник В голубом вертолете И бесплатно покажет кино, С днем рожденья поздравит И, наверно, оставит Мне в подарок пятьсот "эскимо"

The Teacher & The Bull
"It is in captivity — ringed, haltered, chained to a drag. The bull is godlike".
William Carlos Williams
Let me tell You, in a very
short story, why I write.
I took my
four-days-ago-nine-year-old-son
to my Poetry class. Yesterday.
He makes his best to know
who the hell “Paquirri” was
among other complicated
things about The Bulls.
-The Bulls
you know,
are complicated animals-.
My son made it through the
whole class.
At the end of it my teacher
asked:
-“Aryam, Could you get the
readings?”
I said: -“Yes”. And also
thanked him.
-“Is that your son?” and my
son gave a nice handshake to him while pronouncing all his heir by the
syllables of his three elegant Egyptian names.
-For the sake of the Story
I’m gonna have the rest
deleted
for more than three
witnesses.-
I just realized two things
which
I consider fundamental now:
You never said my name out
loud.
(Do you know my last name?)
Never mind.
Anyway, you never did.
