The snowfall is so silent, Alamgir Khan, Alamgir Khan Pictures, Alamgir Khan Muree Pictures, Alamgir Khan Marghuz,

The snowfall is so silent,
so slow, bit by bit,
with delicacy it settles down
on the earth and covers over the fields
The silent snow comes down white and weightless
snowfall makes no noise, falls as forgetting falls
flake after flake. It covers the fields gently
while frost attacks them with its sudden flashes of white
covers everything with its pure and silent covering
not one thing on the ground anywhere escapes it
And wherever it falls it stays, content and gay
for snow does not slip off as rain does
but it stays and sinks in. The flakes are skyflowers
pale lilies from the clouds, that wither on earth
They come down blossoming but then so quickly they are gone
they bloom only on the peak, above the mountains
and make the earth feel heavier when they die inside
Snow, delicate snow, that falls with such lightness
on the head on the feelings, come and cover over
the sadness that lies always in my reason.
