Bees

You voluble,
Velvety
Vehement fellows
That play on your
Flying and
Musical cellos,
All goldenly
Girdled you
Serenade clover,
Each artist in
Bass but a
Bibulous rover!

You passionate,
Powdery
Pastoral bandits,
Who gave you your
Roaming and
Rollicking mandates?
Come out of my
Foxglove; come
Out of my roses
You bees with the
Plushy and
Plausible noses!

- Norman Rowland Gale

Assalamualaikum,

Noodles: masha-Allah, it's really well-written.

Ushi: no, not much. Just Ibn-Insha and a few of the easier poems by Faiz and Iqbal. My urdu's not very good.
