Ghazal: By Dr. Rafey Habib

Ghazal: By Dr. Rafey Habib

I waited for you across long seas, some trace
I sought, of your will in forming the worlds face.

I sought you in the love of lovers, but they
Had turned away from memory of your grace.

I sought you in the things of nature, but they
Competed in cruelty, mindless of their place.

I sought you in the smiles of friends, but they
Competed with me, age stiffening their pace.

I sought you in enduring love of family,
In ties of blood, in the firm moorings of race.

I sought you in me, emptying in your embrace.
Nowhere, nowhere is where I found your face.
