Haikus (The autumn) <br />By: Naseer Ahmed Nasir <br /> <br /> <br />Dusk, chill, air of November <br />Wrapped in shawl of yellow leaves, <br />Trees shiver with cold. <br /> <br /> ******** <br /> <br />The sound of falling leaves, <br />The solitude drenched in dew <br />Life is the autumn of the night. <br /> <br /> ******** <br /> <br />In the fair of crazy weathers <br />Seeing the dance of pale leaves <br />Why does the air blow whistle? <br /> <br /> ******** <br /> <br />With a slight mischief of yours, <br />You have stripped trees of leaves <br />O wind, how wanton you are! <br /> <br /> ******** <br /> <br />Stirring the air, <br />The floating leaves <br />Go on and on clapping. <br /> <br /> <br />(1987, Translated from Urdu into English by Dr.M.Q.Khan, Gaya, India)<br /><br />Naseer Ahmed Nasir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haikus-the-autumn/
