Walking in my dreams
....................Ghazal in English

Walking in my dreams with my shadow of mortal silence
Seeking a sacred doorway to ecstasy of an eternal silence

My heart is aching for your mercy within my desperation
And drenching in the agony of love and emotional silence

Approaching for stillness with an expression of surrender
Perhaps one day, he will open the gate of celestial silence

At the final moment of farewell, when I kissed his coffin
I burst into tears that showed me a path of spiritual silence

Every ‘heart’ that touches the rhythm of your divine love
It evolves into joyous song of an absolute magical silence

Sacred seeds of peace for which you have been wandering
It is in your own soul that will lead you to mystical silence

‘Darshan’ as the candle is burning silently to give the light
Bear the pain of ‘love’ that lifts you to an immortal silence
