LET LIFE’S DESERT FRAGRANT BE—a ghazal


Let life’s desert fragrant be.
Let there no deterrent be.

Come nigh me for one moment,
ere my heart- beat silent be.

Come while my breaths are yet warm,
lest their end imminent be.

Songs in your love that I wrote;
let their tune incessant be.

I am dying to meet you;
I would rather patient be.

Khalish, of your blemishes,
why not I tolerant be?

• “Khalish” is my pen name that I use, as per tradition, in ghazals. It is an Urdu language word that refers to pain / ache
