Shu thayun, tadko tane vagyo? Jara zakal lagavi daun?
English Translation:
Why so silent? Say something at least, what are these wounds made of?
Anil Chavda (Savaar Laine page 29), [2]
There are seventy ghazals in this book, composed in the form of four, five or six shear. The Arabic meters 'Ramal' and 'Hazaj' have been used in this ghazal by the poet. 'Kataav', the meter used in several ghazals of this book, is lucid and has an easy flow. The two main emotions depicted in these ghazals are Intensity of pain and Discordance with worldly life. The poet, however, is not a representative for Westernized modern sensibility, though he has depicted the perplexity and suffocation of modern life. The ghazals, composed in long meters, are a significant work of the poet.[3]
