Ghazal

Does someone pass their days in solitude like this?

Does somebody wish to live in the trance like this?

Twinkling stars blurred behind the curtains of dawn;

Likewise, modest unfaithful veiled herself like this!

Buds tossed no more in euphoria to avenues of love

And restless bee waited in vain for autumns like this!

Neither could I see biting winds nor the snowfall here;

Yet, why the tender hearts of folk are frozen like this?

Stresses, worries and the anxieties mauls ruthlessly;

O Bard! why the odyssey of life is so down like this?
