Mountain Night

Whenever I read Gulzar Sahab I fly with words

Just I read one poem written by Gulzar Sahab. ..

Mountain Night

रात पहाड़ो पर कुछ और ही होती है

The night in the mountains is something else:
The sky never darkens
And the river is forever light
So much zari work can be seen
In the sky through the pattern of the stars :
Just like a city looks
All lit from a plane at night.

The wind speaks like someone
Holding a comb between the teeth
Cracking a little, a trifle threadbare
Like that of a boy coming of age.

Two waterfalls speak so loudly to each other
Like rustic friends
Meeting unexpectedly in valley
Discussing the entire village
Even a poem sleeps with its eyes half open :
The night in the mountains is something else.
