An evening in Gulmarg
                 -----------
The dale of flowers in heart of rising himalaya:
Where sun rise's beyond far green cidar trees,
To please the azure lux skies---

And birds of the bush, sings and laughs, nigh,
And eternally, mirth lulls into eyes the mirth,
Oh! be ever, for me--ahh, sweet earth---
Where, Gulah can be seen, in the echoing green,
Wooing with the flowers day and night,
The snow-whistle, and summer shallow, side by side with suman and sumbal keenly looks on,
To welcome into valley-the spring---

And fairest fountains leap up jolly jolly,
And that- Bard sitting under an oak, plays his harp, among the native folk,
"Oh! my dear melancholy"---

Overjoyed, wood winds play the music,
And maple leafs dance in their rhythm,
Heart sinks down for awhile in an ecstasy
It resounds like, as a festival of holy---
And lucy! swings-un fearing
on the green grass,
There is naught a dilemma of upper or lower class,
Still sound of joy, the nature sings round the clock---

O! liberty! come on hurly,heart is unquiet,
A rainbow dwell's beside it,
Yet, bonnie beauty is in it's reflection,
Garden of eden! gracias for your kind affection-

Abhay Sarkaria Dec 2024
Where ever my gaze run sees death,
Butterflies mourning over a meadow
And many a tulip at their last breath,
The scent of saffron from the fields
Come and die at my wandering feet,
O' the most beautiful valley Kashmir
Where there the chinar trees greet,
What has happened to your soul?
Show me your true form—
And bless me whole.

The winds are going back to the sea
Whistling through the Himalayas,
And the lovely fall is no more lovely,
The lakes robed in brown leaves
And the brown boats still for long,
Makes me more dumb and dead
To the skylark's delicious song;
This heart weeps for everything
Every petal of this valley
And the flower that wants to sing.

In the moonlit sky of Gulmarg nights,
A child by the street is happy,
To his eyes are the blissful sights;
The scent of fresh Wazwan blooms,
At his little feet, cold and dry,
The stars are playful marbles to him
And a coin glimmering in the sky;
I can see him roaming the green lea
O' the land of seven apples,
If I see, the world of joy is in me
