(A GARDEN
IS OUR LAND)
-
The bulbul sings to the flowers:
-
'A garden is our land !'
-
-
The hyacinth says to the violet,
-
'Why are you hiding thus ?
-
Come down from the woods to the garden !'
-
A garden is our land !
-
-
Like walls of white marble,
-
The mountain peaks enclose
-
A sunny space of emerald green.
-
A garden is our land !
-
-
The early spring has come again
-
And camped on mountain heights,
-
And tulips blow in Shalamar.
-
A garden is our land !
-
-
The sweet gift of spring
-
To fountains, rivulets, streams
-
And waterfalls is music.
-
A garden is our land !
-
-
Colourful flowers bloom
-
In gardens and on hill and dale,
-
In forests, ravines and river banks.
-
A garden is our land !
-
-
Blossoms are everywhere
-
In orchards and on hills,
-
And drunken sings the bulbul:
-
A garden is our land !
-
-
Mahjoor, our motherland
-
Is the loveliest on earth !
-
Shall we not love her best ?
A garden is our land !
