Tired eyes close forever,
Drifting off to dream forever.
Ears drawing from the voice,
That could scream forever.
This body but a vessel,
Floating down a stream forever.
Wishing silently to touch stars,
That gleam forever.
Away from this life,
To redeem forever.
A hearts destruction,
Would not seem forever.
(A ghazal is a piece of poetic composition comprising of two line couplets, usually 4-10 in number. Each couplet is called a sher/sheyer. Each couplet is an independent poem in itself. There need not be continuity of theme between one couplet and the next. The main common factor between various couplets is the refrain, which may be a word or a phrase. However, different couplets may be built around a common theme. Yet, each couplet must be a distinct grammatical unit.
A refrain (a repeated word or phrase) appears at the end of both lines of the first couplet and at the end of the second line in each succeeding couplet.)
