Ghazal
બેપગા છે માત્ર પડછાયા મને માલૂમ છે
This ghazal is a deep meditation on the impermanence of life and the illusion of reality. The poet suggests that human existence is merely an illusion or a shadow, which is not permanent. It teaches us to rise above material attachment and accept the transient nature of life.
