Come into the sunshine and bathe in the howling wind What is life, learn that by going beyond books
That is a star, let it twinkle in your eyes Why shape it on your body to comprehend it
Stones can speak and feel emotions learn that by refurbishing your doors and walls
Distance can be a folly of vision whether she meets or not, do endeavor to meet her
Come into the sunshine and bathe in the howling wind What is life, learn that by going beyond books
This is a Ghazal and the singer is Jagjit Singh
The ghazal (Arabic/Persian/Urdu: ???; Hindi: ?????; Punjabi: ?????, ???; Turkish: gazel) is a poetic form consisting of rhyming couplets and a refrain. Each line must share the same meter. A ghazal may be understood as a poetic expression of both the pain of loss or separation and the beauty of love in spite of that pain.
Thank you for sharing that...though it doesn't keep it's rhyme and meter in English, it's still beautiful. I like the concept you explained of what a ghazal is about.
