To Listen To My Complete Love Story(Ghazal English) Poem by M. Asim Nehal

To Listen To My Complete Love Story(Ghazal English)

Rating: 5.0


Neither I asked from the moon nor from the stars
But I requested Your thoughts to stay the whole night

How this darkness scares me and How the night plays its games
When I asked loneliness to accompany and lights to stay away

That wintry evening left me alone and got frightened
When it saw my burning desire to meet my love

Now even night comes and sits quietly with us
To listen to my complete love story

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
उस ने भी सुनी है पूरी कहानी मेरी


न तो चाँद से मांगी, न तो सितारों से मांगी
मैंने रात की सोहबत तेरे ख्यालों से मांगी

अँधेरा कैसे मुझे डरता भला, रात कैसे मुझे तड़पती
वीरानों से दोस्ती की मैंने, उजालों से दुश्मनी मांगी

उस सर्द भरी शाम ने दम तोड़ दिया है
जब दिल में मेरे उसने उबलती रवानी देखी

अब रात भी पहलु में मेरे आके बैठती हैं
उस ने भी सुनी है पूरी कहानी मेरी

This is a fascinating love story which seems one-sided until we look into the images that fill the space between the poet and world around him at night. Dark night, moon and the stars appear to be conspiring 'Now even night comes and sits quietly with us / To listen to my complete love story' so much so that the 'thoughts and a burning desire to meet love' are inert, Thanks for this superb piece of writing.

Neither moon nor stars but kind love has bloomed in mind and stayed for the whole night. Out of imagination love has written new song. After evening desire to meet love glowed in amazing way that brought up light of hope. This poem is very amazingly and brilliantly penned...10
