Winters have arrived In the cultural city which always thrives With the light rays of the sun beaming upon the city One feels a mystical and magical beauty The haze can be seen in a short distance As it mesmerizes someone in an instance During the day vendors sell dry fruits and makai When in the evenings people savor warm paye Taking a walk in the night amongst the mist It is a feeling of complete bliss It is indeed a wonder to admire the walled city As the temperature becomes even more nippy There are complaints about the smog Perhaps now people can no longer jog I sit next to my window in Karachi writing these lines With the sun reminding me of the Lahore shine Oh the beauty of winters in Lahore I just wish there could be more The writer is based in Karachi.
