Bonsai of Thought: One Hundred Eighty-Six

1. Your assembly has only one rule:
To surpass Khona, cut out her tongue!
Muscle's arrogance makes the brain leap! Shame!

2. Come close. You'll see
how soft I am!
From far, I am burning hot—
so that you won't come near.

3. When one's fire dies,
can they truly remain alive?
Live or die,
keep the inner fire burning.

4. Are men as generous with their wives
as they are with their girlfriends?
Rather than ponder this,
come, let's eat puffed rice soaked in milk tea!

5. Here, women don't become kings,
they become kings' wives.
Here, this is the rule.

6. Not on my chest—
if you can,
place your hand
on my wound.
Everyone places their hand on the chest!

7. When it comes to loving,
when it comes to hating...
men don't come close to women.

8. One who loves
without smearing the rank odor
of masculinity on himself—
I call him a true lover.

9. Women's rights.
Is this propaganda truly
an eye-opener?
Or merely eyewash?

10. A woman's tongue...
religion's executioner!

11. Yesterday's mistake
I correct today,
today's mistake I'll correct tomorrow.
One mistake always remains with life.

12. Then does everyone in this world
become good after death?

13. : The madman's son will surely be mad—what else?
: But he's my son too! He could have been like me too!
: You keep quiet!

14. Seeing waves of fire in the river water, I remembered
how I wept that day, sitting by the riverbank.

15. Some say, she looks exactly like an idol!
Some say, she looks exactly like a doll!
To none of them are idols or dolls
lifeless.

16. Those who can't see with their eyes
the price of your murder—
they too dream, you know!

17. One drop of water
on hot sand—
know that in existence, this too is truth!

18. Just as it's true that no one goes to eat at others' homes,
it's equally true that when someone comes home, you must feed them.

19. Some stranger...made kabab and sent it over.
Despite my best efforts, I couldn't find them anywhere.
Isn't this what we call love?

20. In a woman's entire life,
everyone she meets
is a guest!
Alas, no one ever makes her their guest!
