A tale of floods, we can't forget that.
The heavens wept, their tears did pour,
As nature's fury shook us to the core.
Oh, the rivers roared, and the waters rose,
A calamity that nobody chose.
Through the valleys and fields, the floods did sweep.
Homes and dreams, all swept away,
Families stranded, in disarray.
The lush green hills, now drowned in blue,
A haunting scene, forever in view.
Oh, the rivers roared, and the waters rose,
A calamity that nobody chose.
Through the valleys and fields, the floods did sweep.
But in the face of this daunting plight,
Communities stood strong, side by side.
Rescue and aid, a beacon of hope,
In unity, they learned to cope.
Yet, the road to recovery was steep,
As wounds of loss ran buried deep.
Livelihoods shattered, crops destroyed,
Yet, from the darkness, strength deployed.
Oh, the rivers roared, and the waters rose,
A calamity that nobody chose.
Through the valleys and fields, the floods did sweep.
With time and effort, the healing began,
Building lives anew, with a steadfast plan.
To mitigate, prepare for the days to come,
Embracing resilience, as one.
Oh, the rivers roared, and the waters rose,
A calamity that nobody chose.
Through the valleys and fields, the floods did sweep,
Let this tale of floods in 2023,
Remind us of the strength we can decree.
In KPK Swat, the spirit stood tall,
Together, we rose, though the rain did fall.
