Frosty Farewell
In this season of dry winter
Cold winds dusty streets dry surface
Leafless willows barren fields birdless trees,
I can’t offer you!
A fragrant rose or a leafy twig of unripe almonds
Or raw fruits of peach or dried Ladhakhi apricots.
Nor can I show you!
Farmers visiting their ripening crops, trout-fishes fluttering in pond,
Sheep herd in green meadows, goats climbing mount,
Or free-horses in vast pastures graze;
Garden of hundred flowers—lovers holding each other close
By the breezy bank of the gushing stream;
Emerald grass shining dew singing birds sprouting bud roaring streams serene shade
Sauntering buffalos sleeping shepherd
And beside surging springs nomads tent,
Or white clouds so-scattered
Floating low in the blue sky.
Nevertheless; today I will!
Present you my voiceless love,
In the form of a long hug, and eyes brimmed with tears.
