Ode to the courtyard…
O quite courtyard, O timeless courtyard
How many virtues you behold
You are cool, you are bright
You are safety incarnate at night
With strong walls around
You are a child’s playground
You are festive, you are active
With trees and plants, fountains and pools,
You are cool-evaporative.
You are a space within a space
To the ensemble you lend grace
Introverted, ornamented, colonaded, arcaded,
Your types are many-faceted
The ‘haveli’ is yours, the ‘wada’ is yours,
The ‘gadhi’, townhouse, ‘mandir’, masjid, all are yours,
You are omnipresent, ubiquitous
You cut across regions-humid and arid
You are indeed the priceless inheritance of the tropics
You may be round, you may be square
But of senseless planners you beware
How much life you nurture,
How many lives you nourish,
In future we hope you won’t perish,
Long live the courtyard
O quiet courtyard, O timeless courtyard
