Once More
An English Ghazal from Bharan
Narula
Pondering the great questions of life once more, Wondering where we are, why we are, once more Reaching out to clench the rose of greater purpose, Only to grasp the stem and spikes, pain, once more Blood streams and seems so pure , so raw like truth Flows without face, without motive, once more. Love must be the solution, the potion to true happiness, What of those cursed that see through its veil, once more. Exploring the great jungles and deserts of mind, Yet finding no peace, no harmony, no reply, once more. Eyes close and in trance, asking Rahi the poor faqeer, He says discover the answers in life, so live. And ask no more
