Fall In the Spring

Fall in the Spring..


                                        Fall in Spring…

Alas, my youth and my younger days are gone,
  A thousand laughter and childish plays are gone.
I am sure my loving garden will be dried,
  It is old and bitter; no more glowing pride.
In my garden, I had so much loving hearts,
  but I am old and tired, with no blooming parts.
Within this madness of spring and creation, 
  I am in solitude and desolation.
I am now old; the spring is just another night.
  From all these affairs, my hands are too tight.
I cannot smell the scent of flowering breeze,
  I can't rest in the shade of whispering trees.
What else is there for me in spring besides pain?
  Blinded with the tears, why not to complain?
I don't care for lilies, basils, and roses;
  The door that spring opens, the winter closes.
The spring is beautiful. Regret we're so blind.
  I lost it like my youth; I'm out of my mind.
To me, this season is just a season of lie.
  Nothing for me to say except say goodbye.

I agree with Andrea. Spring only brings joy if the person experiencing it has a happy heart. You can be chipper in the winter, or crying in spring ... it depends mostly on the mindset! Best of luck on the contest ... you do melancholy very well.

I loved you calling me a Ghazaleer!!That sounded so fun! Do you write many of them? maybe I should try to do more. The key is in finding a good refrain. Let me read your spring poem now.

My dear Ghazaleer, In Ghazal, Refrain is not mandatory. I have with and without refrain ghazals. The soup has a good explanation about ghazal. Maqta, means refrain in Arabic. Check it out... The greatest poet of ghazal beside you was Hafez. Google it.. pashang

Great write. First time reading an Urdu and am surprised I like it. Didn't know what it was. Good imagery and flow of words. Would read more again.

Thank you Rainbow, the form i used is called masnavi, it is more Persian than Urdu. It is a couplet with a spiritual taste and theme. Thanks again
