Rahuk bhai, I sensed your love for music when I saw your Narayan Gopal thread. Its extremely rare to find those who appreciate ghazal and thank you for appreciating. The lines your wrote can be converted into ghazal provided that you modify kafia. You are not totally wrong with quafia but if I were you, I would modify. Since quafia is the heart of ghazal, you should be able feel the beat. Nepe explains things in a better way and he has more grasp than me. We can do some research together, too. to begin with don't try to write in beher i.e. in the chanda. This will kill you and lose your interest in ghazal. But, at least try to count syllables and keep writing. What I learnt till now is the product of discussions here. BTW this is I am working on for some time and since you talked about flower, I thought of posting it. More later after my exams. Its in a very raw format. मैले फूललाई रीस चांही फे-या छैन है ! मलाई पनि नरम हुन करै लाग्यो, पत्थर फुटाली फूल्दिदा कमलो गुलाफ ! बिद्रोही शैलीले चीसोमा गर्मी ल्यायो बेयाम बेयाम फुल्दिदा रातो गुलाफ !
