Urdu Translation
گرمیوں نے نہروں کو خشک کر دیا۔ موسم گرما میدانوں پر شعلے کی طرح برسا۔ خالی زمین کی بستی میں، رنگے ہوئے مکانات کے روغن پھٹے اور پرت پرت ہو گۓ۔ ربڑ کے ٹائر جن پر بچے گھر کے پچھواڑے میں جھولتے تھے، چلتی ہوا میں رکے ہوئے گھڑیال کے لٹکن کی طرح ہوا میں معلق تھے۔

Reference:
This stanza has been taken from, "A Sindhi Woman," written by Jan Stallworthy.
Context:
The poem reflects the concern of the poet that only work brings honour and dignity to man's life. Work keeps man active, strong and agile. The poet praises the working woman who has practically turned her work into wonderful art. On the other hand, an idle man will soon decay due to his sluggish nature.
Explanation:
The poet in the spontaneous overflow of his powerful feelings describes a life of a Sindhi woman. She is bare footed and has no ripple in her walk. She walks as she is gliding in the air. The poet is very much impressed by her graceful walk. Though she has a heavy jar on her head, there is no ripple in her graceful walk. She walks straight and performs her duties honestly. The language of the poem is simple but the meanings it conveys are profound and thought-provoking. Both the implicit and explicit meanings incited the reader to make his own skilful consideration and imagination.
