RIVER POTMAC WASHINGTON ... EVENING TIME VIEWS
( All 10 Photographs .. Autar Mota)

To these photographs , I add a poem by urdu poet Zubair Rizvi

{Nazm }
Tum kis soch mein Doob Gaye Ho
haath ka patthar paani ke seene par maaro
chot to paani ko Aayegi
paani chot ki taab na la kar
maujon ki soorat mein bahtaa
saahil saahil sar patkegaa
phir ḳhud hi asli haalat par aa jayegaa
tum kis soch mein Doob gaye ho
haath ka patthar paani ke seene par maaro
Me paani huun…….
( Zubair Rizvi )


My simple English rendering would be …


( Poem )
What has made you so pensive Friend?
Bang this hand held stone on water’s surface ,
And let the Bang wounds trouble the water ,
Unable to bear pain,
This water shall move in waves
And Toss itself against the banks .
Very soon ,
These waves shall calm down to realities .
What has made you so pensive Friend?
Bang this hand held stone on water’s surface ,
And Look,
That water’s surface ,
I am .
