I Am Not Barren by Shafkat Aziz Hajam

I am not barren.

My fecundity has not dwindled yet.

Enough as before to bring forth blossoms of all sorts and I do.

Alas ! Frequent invasions of atrocious autumn

Debilitates their potency to bloom in full

To show my greatness in their daintiness and redolence

That would once captivate aves from overseas

To warble in praise of my nature.

O God! Free me from this brutish autumn,

Can’t endure it any more.

To glitter with my flair

Let clement spring reign over me.
