I Wish To Thank

To my sorrows I wish to thank, The grief that galled me, wish to thank— Adversities that chased all life, To my sad state I wish to thank. Troubles, stumbles, pains, tears, sadness— Those that caused them, I wish to thank. All the failures that fed success, To those stabs in back, wish to thank. In love when I asked, you declined, To that ‘no’ of yours, wish to thank. All who mocked me, pulled my poor legs, To those sad stories all so dank, I’m thankful God to all my crimes, Your punishment I wish to thank. ______________________________________ Ghazal |06.09.2021| Free verse Inspired by a Gujarati poem by poet Yuvrajsinh Solanki (Agam)
