Write a Letter To The Rivers

Anytime a pickup a book by Dr. Patar, it inevitably means a return to melody. It is as simple as turning a few pages and inspiration strikes - and boy does it take hold !

This poem - Nadiyaan Noo Khat Likho (literally translates to Write a Letter to The Rivers) touches me at so many levels. It has this one line that describes the poetic metre to use to write that letter :

kin min , chhama chham, chham chhama, rim jhim, kalala kalala

In all my years of reading poetry in various languages, I am yet to encounter something so profoundly musical. Hope you enjoy it just as much as I do.
