THE AMANNENSIS OF MULLAH ZAIGHUM
From the Note Book of MuIlah Zada Zaightttu Lolabi of Kashmir

1

Thy fonts quick silver bewails with grace.
The birds at dawn are restive in thy space.
                                      O Valley of Lolab’s Grace

On harp thus depend the heart rending moons.
If the wries are loose, no quill makes the tones.
                                      O Valley of Lolab’s Groans

The Muulah’s glance lacks the in sight’s sense,
The pure wine of sufi lacks booze and trance.
                                      O Valley of Lolab Hence

Who wakes up the hearts from the morning
wails, To see such Dervesh for long my sense fails.
                                      O Valley of Lolab Tales
