Naltar Valley Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Naltar Valley

Rating: 5.0


They met on the beach of Hawks Bay at Karachi,
they met on the tombs of sufi saints at Multan,
they met at Sheesh Mahal in the fort of Lahore,
beaches and deserts of Sindh,
and green plains of Punjab,
forests and gardens and the rivers,
witnessed them and realized,
they have something in their hearts,
that is yet to be told.
How to make them bold?
Nature send them to the Naltar valley
and they fell in love with the beauty of the valley.
When they saw two hills running side by side
and meeting at a point where nothing exists
except a kiss in love,
they came close,
so close that lips ceased the lips,
words were left for the eyes,
still nothing was told by them.

(Naltar is famous for its colorful lakes, it is situated at a drive of 2.5 hours from Gilgit. World)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
With thaks to Dawn and S.M.Bukhari, the photographer.
Naltar is famous for its colorful lakes, it is situated at a drive of 2.5 hours from Gilgit. World's tastiest potatoes are cultivated here. Covered with pine trees, this valley doesn't seem to be a part of this world.
If you really want to experience paradise in this world, you should visit Naltar at least once. This place will make you fall in love with it.

Along with them we too made a journey through the beaches and hill sides, through the green plains of Punjab and the deserts of Sindh! We closed our eyes when they came too close and their eyes conversed in inaudible silence! You have created a romantic ambiance!
