MANNA OF LOVE—a ghazal

MANNA OF LOVE—a ghazal


Come, today I so miss you,
Come I so want to kiss you.

My life is yet incomplete,
For me, true, will be bliss you.

I have waited far too long,
Come to me please, come quick, you.

I am living in this hope
Pure love, mine, will not ditch, you.

Balloon of my love, I hope,
Never in life will prick, you.

On cloud nine I soar in love,
Hope, my wings, will not clip, you.

Just like a counterfeit coin,
Me, away, may not flip, you.

You are like manna to me,
Khalish, I want to sip 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.
