    13. Forgive me
    14. Have you marked the eternal poetry
    15. How can your kindness be praised
    16. How helpless am I
    17. How quickly every thing changes!

    25. I have arrived at the foot of the ladder
    26. I have arrived at the other side
    27. I have heard, there are unlimited
    28. I have heard, there are no limits
    29. It is good
    30. Life does not allow us any opportunity
    31. My breath should not send a shiver
    32. My expression has touched the sky

    44. Our whole life passes like a dream
    45. Remove the attachment of authorship
    46. Seeing the sun going down

    53. The seed inside the earth cried
    54. The sinner and the saint
    55. The time for being decked with flowers has arrived
    56. There is always a door in a door
    57. There is nothing new
    58. Today, tomorrow, day-after tomorrow
    59. We are untrue, we are unreal
    60. What an irony!
    61. What corner of the sky is this?
    62. What more blessings should I ask?
    63. What should I call you
    64. What will you say
    65. When I advance towards you
    66. When I said with repentance
    67. When there was nothing
    68. Where are you going
    69. Where is this chariot going?

    71. Why do you keep me at bay?
    72. You gave me flowers
    73. You had sent me
    74. You have put me in great perplexity to-day
    75. You have tied one end of the rope around my neck

    8. Only I will not be here
    9. The day is closing
    10. They are all gone
    11. We are dried leaves on a tree
    12. What an uncertain certainly is this
    13. Who will be the witness of this pain of my heart
    14. Why have I caught this serpent
DEW-DROPS THAT BECAME PEARLS

  19. Why should we envy
  20. You won’t be able to efface me
