HOW?—a ghazal
HOW?—a ghazal
[A ghazal portraying stray thoughts on love]
I wish I could know somehow,
In barren heart, love, sow how?
In a dead heart, life of love,
Let someone tell me blow how?
When the heart is made of stone,
Then in it blood does flow how?
In the dark night full of grief,
Firefly tiny does glow how?
I on shore, love on island,
Boat, I don’t know, to row how?
Khalish when Love is away,
Passion for her does grow how?
* 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.
