Happy Nowrus Poem by Anu Shibu

I wish you all Happy Nowruz
Iranian New Year Day
Persian New Year day
Parsi New Year Day
Kurdish National Day
Afghanistan's Farmers' day
Albania's Spring Day
Let's plant trees, dig canals
Clean houses, decorate with auspicious symbols
Decorate the doors and windows with garlands
Use colour powders for creating patterns
Rangoli on the steps and thresholds
Purchase hyacinth and tulip flowers
Prepare delicious Dishes Desserts and snacks
Set Haft Seen on tables
Also candles, mirror, decorated coins, and eggs
A bowl of water with goldfish
A holy book or a poetry book
And Rose water
Prepare Haft Mewa 'the Seven Fruits'
With Raisin, Senjed, Pistachio, Hazelnut, Prune, Walnut, Almond
Like fruit salad made from seven dried fruits served in their own syrup
Wear colourful dresses
Visit our relatives and friends
Exchange New Year gifts
Let's see Amu Nowruz and Haji Firuz in the streets
Wish you all splendour spring and the new life it brings.
