Whisper of Dawnlight

This ghazal captures the quiet kind of longing that awakens with the morning light. The beloved appears in delicate forms—sun, breeze, shadow—becoming inseparable from the world around the lover. It describes a love that is subtle, mystical, and deeply woven into the rhythms of nature.

At dawn-lit streets, my heart keeps searching for you,

Though no footprints remain, the longing still feels true.

The sun, enchanted, gazes back through your light,

With every rising glow, my heart tastes you in sight.

Hidden within the wind, you become a gentle breath,

A whisper on my shoulders, soft as life and death.

O secret without form, you brighten all my nights,

Within the shade of love, my heart counts your silent lights.
