“My desires were like a river, but I found the sea.”
“But in every depth, I found the scene of pain.
Shining pearls came into my hands,
But these eyes never found your skill.”
“I got everything, but I did not get you.
The caravan of happiness decorated every path,
There were moonlit nights on every desire.
But this heart kept waiting for you,
Every morning came, but your dawn never arrived.”
“Even without you, the springs made me cry,
The season changed its colors and showed me.
The flowers bloomed, but the fragrance was incomplete,
In every ghazal, I found your name written incomplete.”
“I have learned to speak in silence,
I have learned to live life without you.
Dreams come, but are incomplete every time,
Because from destiny, only your name is missing.”
“My desires were like a river, but I found the sea.””My desires were like a river, but I found the sea.””My desires were like a river, but I found the sea.”
“But even in that sea, I never found your shore.
In your desire, I lost myself,
Adorning every mirror of love.
Every ray of the sun called out your name,
But that evening came when we ended up erasing ourselves.”
“In my heart were desires to touch the stars,
But fate separated me from the sky.
The world where our dreams resided in your thoughts,
That very world was made unfamiliar.”
“Even being far from you, I felt your presence,
I hummed your name on every tune.
Now, even the winds ask questions,
How did I endure your pain every moment?”
“The picture of love remained incomplete,
The destiny of dreams remained unfinished.
I found the sea, and its depth too,
But in that depth, your image remained incomplete.”
“Wherever you are, the moon will shine,
Under your feet, every garden will bloom.
But in my journey, there is only mist,
Without you, every scene will just be a confusion.”
“Now I write ghazals, but without the soul,
Your absence feels like a melody without a tune.
The desires were like the sea, and I found it,
But in its waves, your name got lost.”
“Without you, every turn felt desolate,
Even in the crowd, my heart felt lonely.
These shining eyes saw the world,
But even there, your face appeared blurry.”
“The breaths are going on, but there’s no meaning to life,
I found happiness, but no end to it.
Every night, I get lost in your dreams,
The morning comes, but there’s no message from you.”
“When I spoke of you to the winds,
Even those breezes carried your fragrance.
My heart called out to you with every heartbeat,
But fate kept you just one more step away from me.”
“Love broke us and made us,
Your passion adorned the heart.
I bore every wound with a smile,
But I made your name a part of every tear.”
“Now, I have stopped complaining to the sky,
I have stopped making wishes with every falling star.
Waiting for you has become my habit,
I have stopped asking God about you.”
“This life now feels like a tale,
Without you, every happiness feels foreign.
But in that sea, I never found your shore.”
“The desires were like the river, so I found the sea,
But in that sea, I never found your shore.”
“I found the material for every happiness, but remained unaware.
I had dreams of touching the sky,
But my heart found the journey of solitude.”
“I got everything, but I didn’t get you,
There was light on every path, but I didn’t find you.
Even in the shining light, there was darkness,
Without you, every scene remained incomplete.”
“There was the fragrance of the spring, but no feeling,
Life was close, but you were not near.
In every smile, I found the shadow of pain,
Without you, every moment felt like a stranger to me.”
“We kept wandering in search of you,
Losing ourselves with every step.
Even the waves of the sea kept calling,
But in that sound, I never found your name.”
“Now, I have no complaints with time, no grievances,
There are no desires left in life.
The desires were like the river, so I found the sea,
But in that sea, I never found your shore.”
“In every boat, I found my own fate,
I flowed with the current, but never found the shore,
Without you, every scene felt like a wanderer.”
“I got everything, but I did not find you,
Where every desire had a place, but I did not find you.
Even the processions of happiness were on the roads,
But this heart never found a way to peace.”
“In the talks of the waves, your mention was made,
In the whispers of the winds, your magic was there.
Everywhere there was a sense of your presence,
But for me, there was only a silent, empty solitude.”
“The shining pearls slipped through my hands,
They were my dreams, but they turned out incomplete.
In the depths where I searched for myself,
There, hidden treasures of pain were uncovered.”
“Now I have set foot on nameless paths,
Life is passing by in stagnant moments.
My desires were like a river, but I found the sea,
Yet in that sea, I never found your shore.”
“I found depth, but I did not find peace.
Even the sounds of the waves felt lonely,
In every scene, I found a journey of pain.”
“Even the ships of dreams kept drifting,
The sails of every boat kept shrinking.
A caravan of light stretched far,
But in the darkness, I couldn’t find your traces.”
“I got everything, but I did not find you,
Every victory was incomplete, because I did not find you.
Fate held my hand every time,
But the feeling of your absence never left me.”
“I stole the springs from every garden,
But I could not find your fragrance anywhere.
Every ray of the sun kept calling out to you,
But in its light, your dawn never arrived.”
“Without you, every ghazal felt incomplete,
Every melody seemed to shrink into silence.
Even though colors were added to the pictures,
Your smile was never seen anywhere.”
“Now the seasons change, but the feeling doesn’t,
Without you, life has no existence.
My desires were like a river, but I found the sea,
Yet in that sea, I never found your shore.”
“On every path, I wrote your name,
But those roads kept me lonely.
In search of you, I made every star fall,
But the sky never gave me your address.”
“In the books of my heart, only your name is written,
In the story of my tears, only your message remains.
I got life, but its meaning was lost,
Because what I needed, I never found.”
“Now I have sunk into the depths of the sea,
Without you, I have forgotten my identity.
My desires were like a river, but I found the sea,
Yet in that sea, I never found your shore.”
“In every wave, a new scene was found.
The depths of hopes were shining,
But in those depths, a journey of pain was discovered.”
“I got everything, but I did not find you,
Every path had a destination, but I did not find you.
Lights of happiness burned at every turn,
But in those lights, I never found your glow.”
“The stars showed me the way,
But I never found your image.
I kept searching for your fragrance in every breeze,
But from the winds, I only found silence.”
“Flowers bloomed in every garden, but their colors were pale,
Without you, all the seasons were lived incomplete.
The moon came close every night,
But in its light, your face never appeared.”
“With every tear, a story was created,
This life got decorated with your memory.
Caravans of dreams were found everywhere,
But in them, the picture of you and me remained incomplete.”
“The river of love flowed, but the shore was lost,
Every desire made me drift away from myself.
The depths of the sea called out,
But even in it, your name was lost.”
“Now I talk to you in words,
In your memories, I live my nights, drop by drop.”
“But even in that sea, I never found your shore.”
“Every moment of getting closer to you burns,
In every breath, your name beats.
When the waves of love crash into me,
The fragrance of your body intoxicates me.”
“In the air, there is a sense of your warm breath,
In your touch, it feels like the sky of fire.
When you are close, my body shivers,
The ocean of emotions bursts from my heart like a wave.”
“The journey of your fingers on my skin,
Is like the effect of rain on a burning desert.
When your warm breath touches my cheeks,
It feels like electricity running through every vein.”
“The kohl in your eyes is like some kind of magic,
In your smile, there is a certain intoxication.
When your lips call out my name,
Every sensation of life feels like a daze.”
“You won’t be able to stop me, I have to come closer,
I need to reveal all my secrets from your lips.
My desires were like a river, but you are the sea,
I have to drown in the depths of this sea.”
“My desires were like a river, but I found the sea.”
