The Mulberry Tree & its Birds
My Mulberry tree, in its season
Used to get loaded
With its sweet, Mulberry fruits.
To eat these sweet fruits
Birds of different colors
and species
From even far off places
Used to come to eat
And to play, on its branches.
Watching these lovely birds
When they eat
Its sweet fruits and play
Was a joy for the Mulberry
Which can, only be felt
If you ever see the Mulberry
When it is loaded
With its fruits and birds
In the, season of Shahtoot* . 01
The birds, used to come
To stretch, their colorful wings
Sometimes, to show their beauty
And sometimes, to show their
Their affection for the tree,
But, when they were
In the company, of their friends
And soul mates
They used to sing, some lovely songs
For the Mulberry tree. 02
Seasons come and seasons go
The buds of yesterday, becomes
A blooming flower of today
As, life keep rolling
With the change of time
But even, in the season of
Fast blowing winds
The Mulberry tree remains
Spreading, its smiles,
Like, an innocent child. 03
Only, in the season of falls
When it use to shed its leafs
The tree,
Becomes, sad and lonely
For a while. 04
But soon again, the tree
Becomes happy and smiling
When, birds return
And come, to Joy fully play
On its, thick and thin branches
The game of love and affection
While singing, their songs
In praise, of the Mulberry tree. 05
Hearing those
Lovely sweet voices and
Singing of different birds
Seems very familiar sometimes
But sometimes,
They seem so alien
To me. 06
It was not easy to understand
What, these birds say and sing
In their sweet lovely language and words
But one thing was clear
That they used to tell,
The Mulberry tree
That they would come again soon
To eat, its sweet fruits
And to sing songs
For that lovely Shahtoot*
Full of fruits. 07
Today, while searching and looking
Towards that side of the sky
Where, the Mulberry tree
Used to spread, its smiles
Every morning and everyday
The birds find only,
A blank space in the sky
And they go away
Sadly from there
To some other place
In search of a
New Mulberry tree.
Those colorful birds,
Who used to show their presence
While, playing and jumping
Up and down, when they skip
On the branches,
Of the Mulberry tree
While singing
Their sweet lovely Songs,
Have almost fled away
For some unknown place
Forever and forever. 08
Those birds
Often, used to get lost
In their sweet singing voices
And lovely notes
Which were very dear
To their soul mates . 09
