Ghazal (To Yasmeen): By Dr. Rafey Habib
It is the language of poets and of kings
Which awakens on your breath, speaking things
Unheard in my world, unsung in verse or rhyme:
I hear from afar the whispered longings
Of an ancient time: Buqara, Samarqand,
Voices waking now in the voice that rings
In my dreaming ears. I am now waking
To my own past, to the music that brings
Your smile to my dreaming eyes. Our love sings
In self-knowing, which soars on ancient wings.
