"Guardians of Dal Lake: Reviving the Jewel of Kashmir"

 

“Once upon a time, in the land of serene, Lay a lake so beautiful, tranquil and pristine. Dal Lake, it was called, a jewel of Kashmir, Where nature's splendour would effortlessly appear.

Its waters shimmered with a turquoise sheen, Reflecting the mountains with a heavenly gleam. Floating gardens adorned its gentle waves, A paradise for lovers, poets, and knaves.

But time took its toll, and troubles did arise, Threatening the beauty that many adored with their eyes. Pollution and encroachment slowly crept near, The fate of Dal Lake was beginning to appear.

The lilies and lotuses started to fade, As the waters grew murky, their colours betrayed. The once vibrant life beneath the surface, Begged for salvation, a plea to be heard.

Oh, people of the world, Safiya Mehraj is calling - ‘let us unite’, To save this majestic treasure, a sacred right. Let's cleanse the waters, restore its grace, Bring back the glory of this enchanted place.

Plant trees, reduce waste, and cease pollution's reign, Educate and inspire, let awareness sustain. For Dal Lake is a sanctuary we cannot forsake, A testament to nature's magnificence, for heaven's sake.

Let the waves dance with joy once again, As we protect this haven from further disdain. Together we can ensure its legacy lives on, For future generations to cherish at dawn.

So rise, dear souls, in the quest to preserve, Dal Lake's enchantment, let it forever serve. For in its preservation, we find our own peace, A bond with nature that will never cease.”
