Analysis of Poem My Diary ... A Ghazal
A graveyard of memories is my diary
A slice of few centuries is my diary
Sweet are the haults that died in the lanes of this skin
Chronicle of enemies is my diary
Those in despair the wax drops ooze, capped the head
A hut of old families is my diary
Silent sigh has silently silenced the silence
A mountain of fallen trees is my diary
Potion and poison are the tombstones of yore here
Hemlock of dear Socrates is my diary
Failures have laid the silken carpets of success
Of the half attempt's increase is my diary
Marbles, myths, merriments and malignant moments
A map of many countries is my diary.
