Happy New year -2021

 

Houseboat Dal Lake Srinagar

Who will set you free, captive bird, Crying in your cage ?  Forge with your own…

Colourful flowers bloom In gardens and on hill and dale, In forests, ravines and river banks. A garden is our land !

Bulbul, the householder, sees the flower, His guest, arrive when day dawns, and depart At dusk. He waits for the end of it all.

The gardener always prunes those trees Who start growing out of size. Thus watch your thoughts at every step !

The succession of day and night, is the architect of events. The succession of day and night, is the fountainโ€head of life and death.

The Dal has supernal beauty with the lotus in bloom; I’ll moor by boat at Zeethyar; appear to me at Gopakar!

here you find peace and tranquillity even though here is neither luxurious interior nor decorative externals –

Looking at the garden from this height, I feel lost, seeing departing caravans Of flowers slowly on the move.

I roamed in many a market, And asked all the merchants If love was on display and any such an article on sale
