Poem

 An unceasing explorer of the woods of birch and maple until this moment,
   I wish to weave my dreams of soothing repose in this moment.

 Every day has painted a tangled image since echoing centuries,
  I wish to compose a disentangled moonlit ballad in this moment.

 Strange norms have been followed by mighty emperors of past,
  I wish to water the gardens of burning graveyards in this moment.

 Many grievances have been carried on this journey till the end,
  I wish to absorb uncontrolled stillness in this moment.

 Perturbed over the fate of burning desires to be drowned or banished,
  I wish to let the flowerbeds bloom with peace in this moment.

 Several books have recited stories of ages long gone,
  I wish to enlighten the future civilizations in this moment.

 Exhausted existence shivers to spiral on the wheel of life,
  I wish to live a few more ages at leisure in this moment.

 Newborn sparks have waged wars to blaze till now,
  I wish to build my fire from ashes in this moment.

 The rush on the surface explodes inside trembling minds,
  I wish to melt the chains of uncertainties by introspection in this moment.

 Hundreds of words fusing into stories have been written on paper,
  I wish to pen a tranquil memoir on snow in this moment.

 Oh the questions that my companions have asked me,
  I wish to float to their answers on Earth in this moment.

 The mirror has reflected conversations of virtue with me,
  I wish to ask a few upfront questions in this moment.

 Those that departed left their footprints on the sand,
  I wish to know myself before getting forgotten in this moment.

 Congregations of enchanting melodies and poetry prevail,
  I wish to orchestrate a ghazal(an ode) of blissful solitude in this moment.



**Poet's Note: I write Ghazals using Urdu words in my own language but I have never written poetry in Ghazal form in English. (Thanks to PS, I got to know Ghazals could be written in English language too!) This one is an old musing of mine written using words from Urdu language in Hindi(Devanagari script). I have kept only one word as it is over here.**
