Hi Carl,

I generally don't like ghazals, so I'm always happy to read one I do like.

I think the subject is perfect for a ghazal with it's regional flavor and devotional element. The "or" rhyming in the second lines of each "stanza" (sher?) is well done and prevents the constant repetition from becoming boring. And the length is just right--you more or less push it to the limit.

...Well done!
