THAT DAY, DAL LAKE ( SRINAGAR, KASHMIR ) LOOKED ROYAL BLUE.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

      

DAL LAKE KASHMIR EVENING TIME
( Photo Autar Mota )

To this photo I am adding lines from Urdu poem “ Tanhaayi “ by Farooq Nazki …

Sho’r ki Basti se niklay 
Aur Eik Pursho’r Daryaa Ke kinaare Par Khadey
Sochtay hain Waqt Ab Kaisay Kattay
Saamnay Kaala samandhar Yaad ka
Door tak Bhoora Pahaadi Silsilaa
Sabz sona Saaya e Ashjaar mein Ghul Mil Gayaa
Dhoop Kaali chotiyon Par so Gayee
Neeli Peeli Titliyaan Khud-rau gulon Ko Choomatii
Behtay Paani par Udeen
Kuchh Beh Gayeen
Kuchh Keh Gayeen
“ Sham ka soona Nagar Aabaad kar “
