Patta Patta Boota Boota

EOS 400D + Nikkor 50mm F1.2

 

"Patta Patta, Boota Boota, haal hamaara jaane hai

Jaane na jaane gul hin na jaane, baagh to saara jaane hai"

 

Reminds me of the opening lines of a Ghazal (Urdu poetry/song) by Mir Taqi Mir (1722-1808) of Delhi. Roughly translated:

 

Each and every leaf and plant my plight doth know;

The rose alone knows not what all the garden knows.
