The Best Poem Of Imran Yousuf

Ghazal (Autumn)

Leaves have started to fall, so they say we are in autumn,
Everything has started to turn red and grey. We are in autumn.

I want this morning and music and warmth of your hand with mine,
I want this light whole night, come, let's pray, we are in autumn.

Look at the colours of this world. It makes me whirl.
Don't ask what love can do in a day. We are in autumn.

Within me lies an ocean where a thousand wishes die in a minute,
Can you see the sunset with a single ray? We are in autumn.

In midnight I seek the clueless and dream the hopeless,
Under the wet hem of my robe, I hear His word 'nay'- we are in autumn.

It's the love of dried leaves which make me sit under the Chinar,
When I die I will soar above and angels will make a way; we are in autumn.
