Today's Bazaar's of Hyderabad- Annie Meraj Kidwai
“What do you sell O ye merchants?
Richly your wares are displayed.
Turbans of crimson and silver,
Tunics of purple brocade,
Mirrors with panel of amber,
Daggers with handle of Jade.
What do you weigh, O ye vendors?
Saffron and lentil and rice.
What do you grind, O ye maidens?
Sandalwood,henna and spice.
What do you call, O ye pedlars?
Chessmen and ivory dice.
What do you make, O ye goldsmiths?
Wristlest and anklet and ring,
Bells for the feet of blue pigeons
Frail as a dragon-fly’s wing,
Girldles of gold for dancers,
Scabbards of gold for the king.
What do you cry, O ye fruitmen
Citron, pomegranate, and plum.
What do you play, O ye musicians?
Cithar, sarangi and drum.
What do you chant, O ye magicians?
Spell for aeons to come.
What do you weave, O ye flower-girls
With tassels of azure and red?
Crowns for the brow of a bridegroom,
Chaplets to garland his bed.
Sheets of white blossoms new-garnered
To perfume the sleep of the dead.
