Saptaparni

I was getting suffocated
by the stinging fragrance of Saptaparni
All said, it heralds the arrival of winter,
Arrival of the colourful Christmas
But I was getting suffocated
I was gasping for breath.....

The Lutyens city is full of Saptaparnies
You cannot escape the stinging fragrance
And they said Saptaparni is medicinal
All of them liked the fragrance
But I was getting suffocated
by the stinging fragrance of Saptaparni
I was gasping for breath.....

Christmas bells started ringing
I am walking on the road
covered with carpets of dry flowers
They have lost the fragrance
A thick mysterious fog envelopes
But I can breathe sans effort
A cool breeze is brushing my cheeks
Like a feather......
