Brother as friend no less ye give,
Or in life loneliness ye give,
If not mother’s sameness, O Fate,
To friend, father’s firmness ye give.

Quatrain ghazal | 32.09.2025 | brother, friend, father, loneliness
While a man travels this troubled world,
there are things that may crush his hope.
Such matters like poverty,
temptation, and trials
truly cause worries,
bringing distress
and stresses
to one's
mind.
Outlander center
An equal, mood firmness sneak
on the heartedness
to create
values to substantiate
Simple makes one able,
complex makes one futile.
