A Poem by Shabeeh Haider

How many storms will rise today?

As I gaze in your eyes today.

 

Time does not pass but now you’re here,

How quickly our time flies today.

 

Just turn your look away from him,

And see how someone dies today. 

 

You’ll see him in the shining stars,

Just look up at the skies today.

 

He cannot drive away your thoughts,

No matter how he tries today.

Wah, wah! Superb ghazal, bro. Excellent couplets there- especially the second one. How very well you have expressed your deep love for the girl, and how very well the poem flows- this is the characteristic feature of ghazals: the flow is superb. An excellent ending, a bit sad, but nice. Keep writing, and well-written.

That is good helpful input, thanks much. You obviously enjoy it as it just flows so nice.
This is a beautiful poem! It's like watching a whole day starting and ending. In this poem, I could feel a sense of beauty, but sadness to it. Keep writing!
