This Punjabi poem by Afzal Shakeel Sandhu beautifully evokes the essence and nostalgia of Punjab. Here is the translation and description of the poem:

Translation:

I speak of a pure rose,
I speak of Punjab.**

Here, the rivers flow freely,
And the brave tend to their sheep,
Ravi, Beas, and Chenab,
I speak of Punjab.

Everywhere, there is greenery,
With keekar trees and tall tahliyan,
This is the land of red roses,
I speak of Punjab.

Clay pots have broken,
Our loved ones have left us,
This is a tale of great virtue,
I speak of Punjab.

The swings' movements are not forgotten,
The beloved of the land do not wander,
Of different and unique judgments,
I speak of Punjab.

Find my lost joys and separations,
Find my hooting and galloping horses,
Of those sweet dreams,
I speak of Punjab.

What can I say about my land,
There are endless stories and gifts,
Of the rising sun and its glory,
I speak of Punjab.

A pure rose,
I speak of Punjab.**
