"winter's chill" [rubai]

  spring has still   to return
                        to my heart
  winter's chill   I discern
                        in my heart
  do my eyes   perceive no
                        rosey flame?
  bulbuls will   again burn
                        in my heart



This pleasantry is partially modeled on, and could be deemed (rhetorically) a "reply to" Rupa's first try at composing a rubai
