LAUGHTER and Silence for a sword and shield!
O aching heart, what war is this you wage ?

Water is wine when lovers kiss;
The moisture of the eyes
Which brims up in love's rapture is
The mist of Paradise.

© Percy Bysshe Shelley
If solitude hath ever led thy steps
To the wild ocean's echoing shore,
Quis Separabit?

All my life's short years had been stern and sterile -
I stood like one whom the blasts blow back -
As with shipmen whirled through the straits of Peril,
So fierce foes menaced my every track.

Tus otoños me arrullan
en coro de quimeras obstinadas;
"Qui Vive?"

"Qui vive?" The sentry's musket rings,
The channelled bayonet gleams;
Quieta Ne Movete

DEAR, if I told you, made your sorrow certain,
Showed you the ghosts that o'er my pillow lean,
What joy were mine--to cast aside the curtain
And clasp you close with no base lies between!

I wandered out one rainy day
And heard a bird with merry joys
Cry "wet my foot" for half the way;
I stood and wondered at the noise,

I strove, like Israel, with my youth,
And said, Till thou bestow
Upon my life Love's joy and truth,
I will not let thee go.

'How beautiful this night! the balmiest sigh,
Which vernal zephyrs breathe in evening's ear,
Que Adorable Mania....!

Que adorable manía de decir
en mi pobreza y en mi desamparo:
soy mas rico, muy más que un gran visir:
el corazón que amé se ha vuelto faro!

They hide it in some corner of the breast,

QUINTI CATULI.
Constiteram exorientem Auroram forte salutans,
Cum subito a laeva Roscius exoritur.
Pace mihi liceat, coelestes, dicere vestra.

Give to brave deeds emblazoned shrines
Where reverent memories may throng.
For them Art draws her perfect lines
In stone, in color, and in song.

Interpreted to mean the public purse.
From thence a plum he drew. O happy Horner!
Who would not be ensconced in thy snug corner
Quatrain (With English Translation)
© Faiz Ahmed Faiz
Raat yunh dil mein teri khoee hui yaad aayee
Jaise veeraaney mein chupkey sey bahaar aa jaye
Jaisey sehra on mein howley se chaley baadey naseem
Jaisey beemaar ko bey wajhey Qaraar aa jaaye
