CALL OF LOVE--a ghazal

CALL OF LOVE--a ghazal*


Come, my love, come and kiss me,
Come and tell me you miss me.

Come and promise to me that,
One day you will not ditch me.

Give me your soothing touch,
This world is out to prick me.

Without you I cannot live,
Why, sentence of death, wish me.

I am on the verge of death,
Quickly come and save, quick, me.

I have now lost all my hope,
Khalish, come, do not trick me.


*This poem is in ghazal form. A ghazal consists of couplets in which the last 1-3 words of both lines of the first couplet and each second line of the subsequent couplets are repeated as refrain, while the word immediately preceding the refrain is a rhyming one and is called mono-rhyme.

For a detailed note on ghazal, please see "WHAT IS A GHAZAL AND HOW TO WRITE IT?"
