Ghazal

Neither any companion nor any caretaker remained anymore!

In this odyssey of life, none of the guide remained anymore!

Walking out of sanctuary of solitude, the ochre dusk realized,

Pole star to guide the wandering bark, didn't remain anymore!

Hey snapshots of time, kindly ridicule not the wounded destinies,

Desires in the eyes seeking another skyline, didn't remain anymore!

Curdled nights of bereaved sadness paused to laugh at the yearnings,

O Bard, shimmering starlight to calm the yearns, didn't remain anymore!
