Joy of life create will I

‘Lone, my life decorate will I And joy of life create will I. A fast flowing flash-flood am I, My way forward ferret will I. As my wishes are all my own, Hold on my head their weight will I. What’s longing? Just a paper boat, Like ere, on sail set off will I. I was called once a road-side stone, As milestone, navigate will I. Pain has no power to punish me, In heart as captivate will I. In a crowd if alone I feel, A world my own rotate will I. _________________________ Ghazal |02.07.2025| life, loneliness, joy A ghazal fashioned from the one in Urdu by Harsh Brahmabhatt -- apani viraniyañ saja lunga.
