When Autumn came

Bewildered as I stood, I looked at what surrounds me,

Mighty chinars, mesmerizing hills that cover me.

The Lake had in it a tinge I never did see,

The boats simmering over it like a bee.

O’ the leaf that fell without harm,

Melodiously, with grandeur charm.

It’s this time of the year, I feel hopeful than ever,

The land looks vibrant and the soul seems richer.

It’s always the changing wind that hints to us,

A month is here full of mercy and trust.

The daffodils, the lily, blossom early in the morning,

They greet the people and appear charming.

It’s the time, we find people engrossed in prayers,

Glossing their heart and soul with colourful layers.

The dazzle of food is like never before,

Cherries, strawberries, and dates galore.

And I fast knowing hunger of the poor,

Giving alms to needy, and pray for their cure.

I feel the dawn, I feel the dusk,

Can feel the fragrance of that heap of husk.

O' people let us love, let us share,

For surely this month, we ought to care.
