Happiness Is …. Poem by Khadim Hussain

Happiness is as golden brown as Halwa
Topped with silver vark.
It tastes rich and creamy like Shahi Korma
It smells like lovely prepared Roghan Josh
It sounds like Nightingale in spring
It feels like luxurious chocolate slowly melting in the mouth.

Halwa: A kind of sweet dish made of flour, ghee, and sugar and garnished with sultanas, almonds and pistachios.
Vark: Edible gold or silver leaf.
Shahi Korma: Korma fit for a King.
