BULBUL ON A FLOWER LADEN TREE..
A friend has sent me this photo with a request to add something to it. I am instantly reminded of late Moti Lal Saqi 's besutiful gazal. I add some lines of the gazal to this photo..
Vanaan bulbul chhu gul Royan
Dohaai gotchh Nau-Bahaar Aasun..
Pozaai guv akh akis Praarun,
Reitcher tchharun bujeir gaarun,
Dohaai ma Aashqas Maashoq sundh
gotchh intezaar Aasun..
(Moti Lal Saqi)
"To these blushing flowers,
The bulbul says:
" Shouldn't everyday ,
this spring be there for us ?"
True for us ,
To wait for each other,
To seek eachother's welfare
And plan a happy old age .
But why on earth ,
Everyday,
A lover has to keep waiting
for the desired and the cherished ?'
Peace be to saqi sahib's soul. He left this world in a hurry and so early..
