Haikus (The autumn)
By: Naseer Ahmed Nasir


Dusk, chill, air of November
Wrapped in shawl of yellow leaves,
Trees shiver with cold.

********

The sound of falling leaves,
The solitude drenched in dew
Life is the autumn of the night.

********

In the fair of crazy weathers
Seeing the dance of pale leaves
Why does the air blow whistle?

********

With a slight mischief of yours,
You have stripped trees of leaves
O wind, how wanton you are!

********

Stirring the air,
The floating leaves
Go on and on clapping.


(1987, Translated from Urdu into English by Dr.M.Q.Khan, Gaya, India)

Great piece on nature sir! ! ! The one I loved most is the fourth one Naseer. I specially loved this phrase 'O wind, how wanton you are'... That is very cool you know! ! ! ! ...... Loved reading your Haikus regards Shan

Nature comes alive in an excellent dance that makes autom feel like spring.
