( Lament of loss )

And then one day ,

Some one saw that Bulbul again,

Coming from some end,

It flew  over  the garden towards the Chinar Trees ,

Hurried   towards the mountains

And soared up   the sky .

This news reached   the flower beds ,

The Marigold   rushed down barefoot   ,

The Jasmine  laden branch cried

“ Bring him to his Dwelling ”

The sunflower ran without clothes  to look for  him,

The crows  on the Poplar tree cried in agony ,

The garden sparrows  flew  high to look for  him in the sky ,

 And Never did the Garden know his whereabouts later,

The flower laden branches kept waiting for him,

Look! No season could wash these bruises

And make flowers forget what befell them .

What if the wind   kisses and embraces branches  today,

 The  leaves  do not remember   their cheerful clapping anymore .

 The garden doors are open once more  ,

Drop in someday ,

Let you also see the lament of loss in the Garden.
