MY HEART IS A FIREPLACE

                                                                  

 

(My Heart is a Fireplace)

 

This fireplace that my heart is,

Neither raises smoke nor any flame,

And till now,

Many Aharbals slipped inside it and vanished,

Its torment, unbelievable as it is,

Like the sorrows of our Dal Lake,

Who could cure them?

Though Telbal, the freshwater stream, 

Pours into it every day.

 

(Avtar Mota)

PS

Aharbal is a tourist spot hill in the Kashmir valley noted for the waterfall known as Aharbal Falls, where the Veshav River drops about 25 metres through a narrow gorge, creating noise and scenic elegance.

Telbal Nallah is a large perennial stream that drains the Dachigam National Park on the eastern side of the Dal Lake and enters it from the northern end
