Under the foothills of graceful Zabarwan
walking the Boulevard
besides the prismatic waters of Dal Lake
under the delectable shade
...

With all precious love,
Unflinching and patriotic attachment to you,  
My friend
I am happy, or I show to be happy,
...

I am a banker and that's my crime
Bear anyway all the bluff and be sublime

Work like a mule and without a pause
...

One evening walking in a vibrant mood
I stumbled upon the heart's propitious food

There I met a daughter of a stone
...

Be patient on the road, there are many a hog
Better to take stand by mode in fog

From the days of being a kindergarten
...

Out in the woods by a gushing stream
Under the canopy of an awesome pine
I stepped into something aiming supreme
And now my quill went for glittering line
...

They have a universal mission to uphold
And that goal is their sweetness of soul
Even the slightest move from them
Exudes respect from every attempt
...

There is no second chance in life
What you can do, do it now
Or when the bird flies out of the cage
It shall never return into it again
...

Up and down along the serpentine track
Through the Pir Panjal Range of restless Himalayas
Mountains till my view goes
Unfold like drapery on my window
...

Couldn't the broken
 Pickets hold back 
The wandering wild
 Defacing lawns and terraces
...

AAABB

Checked on while travelling into all days gone
Got me, hegemons think; - I'm a timid fawn
