“A Beautiful Evening”
By
Khursheed Ahmad Wani
Pen Name: Mirza
I came across out-of-towners
All decked up in rich costumes
In awe of their etiquettes
I stood silent, drenched in sighs.
The party – in full swing, benignly lustrous
The duad nigh the barbie, full of beans
Fairy lights hanging on tent pegs
With a few lamps and chandeliers.
A bouquet of Innocent faces
Engaged in their naughtiness
Aha, asudden stepped in, a bevy of ladies
Convivial, sociable in all respects.
That murmur of a bunch of bezzies
All were busy in tittle-tattle an’ goss’
Folk songs were being sung. At times
A lyrical melody from the guitar, quite artis’.
We had a lot of fun, sharing jokes
Got to learn a lot, full of positive vibes
Turned sorrows into joys
A truly charming eve ‘twas.
