The Weight of Dusk

This ghazal captures a quiet, urban loneliness—the kind that arrives at dusk, when the world slows and memory grows louder. It speaks of unspoken words, missed chances, and the weight of a single moment stretched across time. Love here is intimate, human, and painfully close.

I linger by the window, remembering dusk,

You left—and my heart was abandoned to its hush.

A thousand words remained within my eyes,

My breaking silence drowned in twilight’s disguise.

You’re gone—and the streets stretch endlessly wide,

This moment drifts slowly in dusk’s fading tide.

My heart still calls your name without a sound,

In this heavy loneliness where shadows surround.
