Pathan proposed a girl wid romantic poetry,
Kutta mar gaya razai me
Mai pagl hon teri judai me
Pani mei machar ter nai sakta..
Pathan tere bin reh nahi sakta
A mother serves her sugar with
A bit of peppermint
To clarify the passages
That carry what she meant
When she first set to bear a soul
Quite separate from her own,
Whom she would cherish, yet must teach
To live and die alone.
