To this Photograph i add My Kashmiri Poem -(Kaetii Tschhaandukh ) or  Where shall I find them ?

(Kaetii Tschhaandukh ) 

Tim kaetii Tschhaandukh

Kaemii vaaetii Tschhaandukh

Yim Maaguss munz Naethhanaeunn Nanaaevaarie,

Yim Haaruss    Pheran Taa Naar Tapaan

Yim Vaharaatchan Munz vaana Penjeun Tal

Halmuss tip tip roodh rataan.

Daafa Traavithh Aiess Dhaeil Cheeraan .

Prathh Vatie Pakvunn Ouss Yee Bozaan

“ Allah  Allah !  Maula Maula!

Shiv Shiv Shambhu !

Om Namo shivaaye !

Tche Tee Khaaur Zoovuss

Tche Tee jaanuss Ruut.

Atha Tull Tche Tee Mung

Assamaanuss Ruut. ”

Tim Taaeti Koat Gayee?

Tim Maaeti Koat Gayaee?

( Autar Mota )

( Where shall I find them  ? )

Where shall I find them ?

Which path should I traverse to trace them ?

Those who walked naked and barefooted in Magh ,

Those who  used  pheran and kangri fire  in intense heat of  Haar ,

Sitting under shops ,

Those  who stored drops of rain falling from roofs in their clothes .

 Lying on  this  couch,

 they would compress out these drops from their wet apparel.

We heard them saying

“Allah  Allah !  Maula Maula!

Shiv Shiv Shambhu !

Om Namo shivaaye!

Let you be disease free !

Let good things be for you !

Raise your hands and

Wish everyone’s welfare .”

Where have these great souls gone ?

Where have these simpletons gone ?

 Maagh - Corresponds to the Mid of Jan  to Mid of Feb . It is a month of intense cold in Kashmir .  It is a Month as per Bikrami Calender

 Haar  – corresponds to the Mid of June to Mid of July. It is a month of hot summers in Kashmir . It is a Month as per Bikrami Calender .
