What Is Life - A Ghazal!
What Is Life - A Ghazal!
Wafting petrichor drew me to the stained window,
Gentle raindrops danced on the roofs high and low!
Why do I see the drenched trees beaming and blushing,
Is it similar to a newlywed bride's inner glow?
Why do I see the soaked tadpoles struggling in the puddles,
Is it nature's way of teaching them to grow??
When did I grow up, why can't the time just freeze,
To that era when I was not chained by any worry or woe?
If the skies are dark Anjali, don't fear, discover your own sunshine,
Look how I glitter just after a heavy downpour, says the smiling rainbow!
