A Struggle - Ghazal In English Poem by M. Asim Nehal

A Struggle - Ghazal In English

Rating: 5.0


Those who have several wants and wishes to accomplish
Often when they start their journey do notfind the way to proceed

Like the boat when surrounded by the storm
Struggle to find the shore for safety.

When the clouds are dark and thick,
the birds struggle to find the way back to their nest.

If the convoy is lost during the expedition, due to shifting sands, the footprints are lost.
Similarly People in trouble do not get the support from anyone except their own shadow.

It is possible that the downer will get the straw to hold on,
Yet the swimmer often struggles to reach the depths of the sea.

This is a translation of the poem Nahi Milti....Ghazal by M. Asim Nehal

If the convoy is lost during the expedition, due to shifting sands, the footprints are lost. Similarly People in trouble do not get the support from anyone except their own shadow.// praiseworthy expression; human is fond to imitate but sometime difficulties come in the every way of life where every sign of imitation won't be everlasting and there the life faces the struggle.

Loveliest Ghazal translated, all things in the poem sounds logic and TRUE, and I have enjoyed immensely, but do birds struggle to find their way back to their nest when the clouds are dark and thick? I am thinking and doubting....once I had been a bird, must you know Conclusion constantly a beautiful and brilliant poem from your golden pen, dear Ghazal Poet. FIVE Stars! Best wushes from The Netherlands

Supreme lines birds struggle to find the way back to their nest. If the convoy is lost during the expedition, due to shifting sands, the footprints are lost. Similarly People in trouble do not get the support from anyone except their own shadow.
