Ghazal
तरीक़-ए-इश्क़ में मुझ को कोई कामिल नहीं मिलता
This ghazal laments the scarcity of profound devotion and true lovers like Farhad and Majnun in the modern era. Surrounded by a crowded gathering, the poet experiences deep isolation and contemplates whether this emotional disconnect stems from a personal flaw or an absence of genuine passion in the world.
