In a Ghazal themes are usually connected to love and romance. This beautiful Ghazal misses that romance, no? Please, never create such a line, making God as evillish, I cite you here: " for our Lord in heaven above we are but a game" , I do not think so, Sunil Sir. CONGRATULATIONS, Sunil Sir, being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day. Hurray! Double Congrats, previous year the same honour, prize and even the date. God´s Blessings.

all day the devotees throng His shrine chanting His name spreading His fame desires they've sown for ages in their hearts if they don't sprout won't it be His shame? /// Ghazal in shekwa tone
