Ghazal On An Encounter

A father ails, a son's lover's lament Steel rudders committed, what hues to lament. No courage, the lover feels not what to speak A channel untuned to the feast of lament. Tradesmen and saints, what heed they at all? The father feigns slumber, a weak heart's lament. The lover replaced, made a crater unwhole His plea unreturned, an unpromised lament. One tender father, one lover's fair bones Their son and companion, shared in lament.
