| Bank of Jhelum somewhere outside of Srinagar. 2010. |
buji aki dop yi kya didi gom
kasabay osum su kot didi gom
su ha didi nyunay gura aban
zor kor veshive sahlaban
Said an old granny in a wild flurry,
“Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!
O where’s my headgear?”
“O granny dear, O granny dear,
The yellow flood has carried it off.”
The Vishav has overflown her banks.
A Kashmiri limerick displaying from J.L Kaul’s Kashmiri Lyrics (first published in 1945. revised and edited by Neerja Mattoo (2008)).
Vishav, fed by Kaunsarnag lake, is a tributary of Jhelum which it meets at Bijbehara..
