Aniruddha Pathak Poet Ghazal

Let Us Leave Shadows and Live

From shallows, let’s live tuned to strains our own,  
Leaving shadows of life, let’s live our own.

If ocean of emptiness should abound,
Drowning personal pain let’s give to get grown.

Blossoming buds bloom, fragrance freshens air,
Leaving thorns’ reign, let’s on fragrance get drawn.

Mirrors reveal to reflect what we are,  
Why on a masked face cleave to play unknown?  

Far from the reign of mirage all around,
Prone to give more, let’s not receive alone.
