Withering Summer

With prickly sweat

Trickling down the spine

Finding respite

Under the 'Neem tree'*

Quenching thirst

With sweet cool lime

And syrupy watermelon

Oozing nectar from

Green coconut

Tastes like Heaven

Juicy mangoes tease

Oh! I want some more please 

Scorching sun

Reverberates its heat

Let the ‘Matka Kulfi’** melt

And beat the sizzling heat

Sun Flowers stand valiantly

Shinning in the sun

Summers are here

Now waiting for the Rain.
