In the Embrace of Your Memory

This ghazal is a poetic journey through dreams, longing, and spiritual closeness. The speaker finds themselves drawn to the memory and essence of a beloved, even in separation. It captures the paradox of distance and closeness—the beloved is far in reality, yet vividly present in every thought, dream, and breath.

One night I dreamed your gentle smile,

And saw, in light, your future's style.

You called to me — my soul took flight,

Drawn to your window’s glowing light.

A glance enslaved me with its grace,

That stole my world, your tender face.

For love, I stepped into a blaze,

No arms but yours, no other place.

Though far, like stars that shine above,

You fill my world with all your love.
