Ghazals: A Collection of Ghazals in English

by Shankar Kashyap

The word Ghazal conjures up images of swirling dervishes and incense and deep trans states. Ghazals were spread across the land by the Sufi mystics. This is an attempt to construct Ghazals in a format as close to traditional Persian verses as possible, within the constraints of the English language. The poems are essentially love poems with a few in a melancholic tone. The poems are based on love, pain and pathos of life. The structure of the Ghazal format has been painstakingly reconstructed as much as possible within the constraints of the English language.

This is a book not only for the connoisseurs of Ghazals, but also for anyone who love reading poetry.
