I remember the moment when you came
after that, life was never the same
strategic thinking, masterful execution
you were a master at your game.
you painted the future with adept hands
I wished to see myself in the frame
you catapulted me to the top with ease
I wondered if it was my claim to fame
you paralyzed my independent will
but reflected glory was never my aim
I slogged day and night to execute the task
all awards and trophies bore your name
Where am I?

Great job. This ghazal form was extremely challenging – I’m still not 100% I got the format but it was a fun task to try

It is a fun task. We have grown up listening to Urdu ghazals, so it is only about getting the same impact in English. I don’t think I’ve been able to capture the same magic.

It’s hard when language forms an additional barrier to the form! We both did an honourable job I think! Lol
