WARMTH OF LOVE—a ghazal

WARMTH OF LOVE—a ghazal



Come, I am now so alone,
I don’t want to go alone.

Life is almost ending now,
Let it no more flow alone.

Boat of life, in time’s river,
I don’t want to row alone.

Life’s field is so rough and vast,
I just can’t it plough alone.

I need you to be with me,
I just cannot grow alone.

Khalish needs warmth of your love,
I can’t face the snow alone.



* 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?"
