VERINAAG SPRING   AND  KASHMIIRI  POET  RASOOL MIR

 Kashmiri Poet  Rasool Mir  is extremely  skillful   when he touches Love and romance in his poetry  . He adds Kashmiri hue to it. By Hue I mean the  colour  of native springs ,  Gushing  streams , Flower filed  Gardens  , Meadows , Birds  and  friendly  animals  seen around hills and meadows of Kashmir  .  His Lovers do not live in isolation . They are   a part of   overwhelming nature  around them. I quote Rasool Mir  …

“Vaerinaag  i Nearaai Ba  Aa-ga’yey
Achhawal ke Posh Shaeri Laa-ga’yey
Vuchh Manzliss Munz Rachhuth Duchha Moori’yey
Valaai Kastoori’yey
Poe’r Maai Traav Neeri-yey    ..”

( Rasool Mir )

My simple english rendering would  be as under ......

At Verinaag Spring     ,
I will  go  to usher you in ,
Your  Forehead ,
 I  will  decorate with flowers from Achhabal Garden ,
In the cradle of My Bosom,
I will  hold you,
 My tender  Vine,  My Love !
Come over !
Come this way  You Kastoori ( Musk Deer ) ,
Put not your carefree feet in these meadows ..
