Gojal Lake Hunza Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Gojal Lake Hunza
Graceful Old Lady!
Though you are always crazy in love,
and selfish in creating beauty,
still I love you.
Sometimes when you take precious lives
in creation of a work of art,
I kiss you with my mixed feelings.
The land sliding took many precious lives
but your bitterness was sugar coated.
It created a blue lake in the hard and frozen rocks.
With tears in my eyes,
When I look at the images of high mountains and blue skies
dancing with your breasts,
my heart starts dancing on your heart beats,
and when I remove my lips from your lips,
I see my vibrating image
in the waves, of a chilled lake,
waves of love and beauty created by icy breeze,
acknowledging sacrifice of human lives,
you took in the course of creation of beauty.
I wipe my tears and I smile.
You naughty old lady,
you'll never grow old!
Picture shows my grandchildren boating in the lake.
Though nature may inflict a human cost when creating beauty, yet we tend to forget it in the long run. A wonderful poem indeed.
A fantastic expression has been made on Attabad Lake also known as Gojal lake which has tourist attraction. You are so lucky that your grand children have got boating in this lake. Beautiful poem.
Nature is such a beauty... It is harsh and benevolent at the same time. A beautiful poem Jawad sahab. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day sir: -)
