CALL OF THE HEART
She, from distance, calls today.
Her memory crawls today.
Each and every thought of her,
Verily enthralls today.
I can’t take my eyes off her
Picture on the walls today.
In my empty house her voice
Echoes in the halls today.
Seeing her in dream I felt,
Manna, as if, falls today.
Khalish, I can’t forget her.
My heart, for her, tolls today.
* A ghazal consists of couplets in which the last 1-3 words of both lines of the first couplet and each second line of the subsequent couplets are repeated as refrain [called radeef], while the word immediately preceding the refrain is a rhyming one and is called kaafia.
For a detailed note on ghazal, please see "WHAT IS A GHAZAL AND HOW TO WRITE IT?" 
• Written in 7 syllables per line format
