Ghazal:How much is enough?

Trapped in an illicit hoax, jammed in doubts⁣
How/ When/ Why surge infinite doubts.⁣

Bridges pelted, all turned to dust,⁣
Kinships being a valiant alibi amidst frantic doubts.⁣

Too scared of the perilous seclusion⁣
Being shoved in a dungeon better or in well-sheltered doubts?⁣

Be it a withering loss of a shoulder in the rain,⁣
Or a shower of empty hugs and obscure doubts.⁣

“Who shall take charge? Who shall burn the pyre?”⁣
Flames burnt all the discords with camphor scented doubts. ⁣

In a shack of curses and maladies together, ⁣
“Me, myself and I ” toss-up frugal doubts.⁣

Adequacy sets up a Samyak route for a bird with a broken wing,⁣
For your stories might get buried alone, ⁣
six feet under, chirping absurd doubts.⁣


An effort to sue up your mind with a ghazal here..hopefully meeting the necessary criterion and rhyming scheme except the metric (though an English ghazal doesn’t ask for it).

I hope you like it.

Thank you
