بماند سالها این نظم و ترتیب                  ز ما هر ذره خاک افتاده جایی

غرض نقشی است کز ما باز ماند            که هستی را نمی بینم بقایی

مگر صاحبدلی روزی به رحمت             کند در کار درویشان دعایی

These rhymes shall remain for years

While our dust is dispersed in the air

These words are but to remind of us

For else, no permanence is traced in life

Hoping a pure mystic, a man of heart

May pray for us, poor souls, as an act of grace

welcome to English Learning  Club                                         

Where did the voices go

?

There was once a little boy who told tales about absolutely everything. Whenever anyone asked who had done this, or who had said that, the little boy jumped up and shouted out the guilty person's name

At his school the children ended up never speaking to each other; they were tired of the little boy using their words to tell tales. Because they no longer spoke, the children started to lose their voices, until no one could say anything at all

This made things very boring for the little boy. He was left on his own, feeling lonely, and the others resented him for being the cause of everyone losing their voice

A Child's Ten Requests

1. My hands are small; please don’t expect perfection whenever I draw a picture or throw a ball.  My legs are short; please slow down so that I can keep up with you   
2. My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; please let me explore safely.  Don’t restrict me unnecessarily
     
3. Housework will always be there.  I’m only little for a short time; please  take time to explain things to me about this wonderful world, and do so willingly
    
4. My feelings are tender; please be sensitive to my needs; don’t nag me all day long.  Treat me as you would like to be treated
     
5. I am a special gift from God; please treasure me as God intended you to do, holding me accountable for my actions, giving me guidelines to live by, and disciplining me in a loving manner
    
6. I need your encouragement to grow.  Please go easy on criticism; remember, you can criticize the things I do without criticizing me
    
7. Please give me the freedom to make decisions concerning myself.  Permit me to fail, so that I can learn from my mistakes
     
8. Please don’t do things over for me.  Somehow that makes me feel that my efforts don’t quite measure up to your expectations
     
9. Please don’t be afraid to leave for a weekend together.  Kids need vacations from parents, just as parents need vacations from kids
     
10. Please take me to mosque regularly; setting a good example from an early age
