BEAUTIFUL NIGHT

BEAUTIFUL NIGHT

The melodious ghazal touched 

Her heart and soul softly like a feather

'It was a beautiful night!

Lips met lips and the lips were 

Locked in a close bond

No questions were asked

No questions were answered 

It was a beautiful night....'

Lost in her past, she was enjoying 

The nostalgic memories 

She remembered the beautiful sunset

And the lovely memorable evening

Sharing the amazing emotion called ‘love’

Mist along the blue mountains 

Covering like a white veil

Streams and flower-strewn valleys

Green forests, mountain slopes

A mantle of green spread on

Hillocks looking like a carpet

The blue sky painted with vibrant colors And later the night came with soft steps

Those enchanting moments were

Close to her heart like the ghazal

It was indeed a beautiful night!
