The Concealed Anguish
Take my letter to her, O Messenger!
Yes, totally washed are its words and phrases
A deed of my flooding eyes I couldn’t deter
The tornado of tears accumulated for ages
The storm of anguish concealed in heart
Washed all urges of soul that flowed from pen
The torrents rumbling from the start
Once started couldn’t be stopped there and then
Her perception will be triggered, I am sure
This blank sheet will reveal all that I meant to say
The power of love will her instincts conjure
My feelings, my urges won’t go astray
Tell her, that the lustrous mansion of pride and ego
Is falling to pieces like the house of cards
The dark alleys of life that lost their glow
In a state of disrepair, description beyond words
The King of Diamond has lost the game
A player is lucky to hold the three A’s
Lost is all the glory and fame
Built in years and lost in days
His eyes craving for your enchanting face
The candles of his eyes weep in the desolate nights
Lost is all peace and tranquility’s trace
Your charming features his heart ignites
A few breaths are left in the dying tree of life
With fallen leaves and barren branches entwined
Resuscitate and free it from torments and strife
Be a glow of the dimmed eyes that brilliantly shined
Tell her, the writer awaits your reply
With burning heart and soul alight
Before torments enhance and wounds multiply
And the bird of life takes to wing of flight

Greetings Mohammad,
Very well versed poem and with its accompanist, appears an abundance of passion felt for the recipient. Great poem and with so much emphasis on how the absence of the receiver, depletes the writer of his or her sheer will to survive, I am sure, is powerful  enough to see it reach its destination.
Cheers!
Jim
Hi Jim!
Thanks for your kind comments on my poem.

Thanks for your most encouraging comments. Ghazal is a difficult form of poetry. I have written over 300 Ghazals many of which were published in literary Urdu Journals. I have also translated in English Quatrains over 1000 Rubai'yat of Josh Malihabadi. The title of one of my books being sold on Amazon is Rubai'yat of Josh Malihabadi -A Drop and the Ocean. Thanks for the interest you have been taking in my poems. Regards.
