NIGHTFALL IN THE CITY OF HYDERABAD

    See how the speckled sky burns like a pigeon's throat, Jewelled with embers of opal and peridote.

    See the white river that flashes and scintillates1, Curved like a tusk2 from the mouth of the city-gates.

    Hark, from the minaret3, how the muezzin's call Floats like a battle-flag over the city wall.

    From trellised balconies, languid and luminous4 Faces gleam, veiled in a splendour voluminous.

    Leisurely5 elephants wind through the winding6 lanes, Swinging their silver bells hung from their silver chains.

    Round the high Char7 Minar sounds of gay cavalcades8 Blend with the music of cymbals9 and serenades.

    Over the city bridge Night comes majestical, Borne like a queen to a sumptuous10 festival.
