Fiery beams of August sun
emblaze all over;
Dusty arid biting breeze
hits up every corner;
Frazzled mirage cheats eyes
along sandy layer;
Summer in this lively desert
makes faiths warmer.
Wondered brisk bees buzz on
late spring blossoms;
Teeming bunches of sweet dates
adorn tall palms;
Ripe luscious seasonal fruits
awake hidden birds;
Humid East wind rummages
silent sand dunes.
Twilight enfolds vicinity
at the end of day;
Folks look for a better venue
to begin their own way;
Fragrance from woody Bakhor
embraces boutiques at bay;
Shisha blended aromatic coffee
stimulates the day.
Sheppard load up water and clove
into sheds of goats;
echoic laughter of happy kids
wakes dozing parks;
Heavenly malls arise from slumber
with influx of guests;
Gold sandy beaches welcome
folks by tepid waves.
Gust across Arabian Gulf
wipes off heat currents;
Merciless sun mocks at us
peeping through cotton clouds;
Solemn pinching memories
of burning summer untold;
Do not steal from my mind
that snuggle to my heart!

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia. Climate of the UAE generally is hot and dry. The hottest months are July and August, when average maximum temperatures reach above 48° C (118° F) on the coastal plain. Average minimum temperatures in January and February are between 10°C (50°F) and 14°C (57°F) During the late summer months, a humid southeastern wind known as Sharqi (i.e. "Easterner") makes the coastal region especially unpleasant.
