TRUE LOVE--a ghazal

TRUE LOVE—a ghazal


Though I may never get you,
Yet I cannot forget you.

Though you are dumping me now,
One day I will attract you.

You are mine and I yours,
Though, for now, me reject you.

You are etched in my heart,
None from there can deflect you.

Even though you may be gone,
In dream I’ll resurrect you.

You may come back when you like,
I will never suspect you.

I am sure my love will win,
Me, one day, will select you.

Khalish true love begets love,
My love, too, will beget you.

* 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.
