"Lines from Kashmir" - Zakir Malik

Smell of Jehlum

Thine rivers chripping from dawn till dusk are my nights of ecstasy from which freshness does flow with drops of peace pouring into Dal.

I hide my puzzles under your green coats, and those glistening Lillies of the Wular, in my dreams, I sleep over melody of gush and sink into the abyss of myriad waves

O' Kashmir you drench; glow like diamond while my thirst quenches with balls of snow that thatch of lush greenery is where I belong, where I come from rest my breaths are the guests of time.

Endless is dusk where I slide towards slowly, slowly into the waters of Mansar, I walk then towards Silk route to relish and squeeze taste of nature at its best.

I live in the drops of Pangong lake O' my land I smell your beauty hear your voice in rush of Jehlum see your hues in fruits and leaves.
