Why’s that nightingale sing all through the night? I am why.
How come rain makes a rainbow by kissing light? I am why.
I am why how the season changes on Earth, I confess.
A thousand mysteries for your vanished sight, I am why.
I am love that hurts and transcends beyond high, I confess.
With love every second is life; without a fight, I am why.
Lovers, they know my name with each breath of life; I confess.
I confess that the oneness is shining bright; I am why.
I am in you, and you are in within me; I confess.
We are cause and effect that deals without plight; I am why.
I am here, and I am there and everywhere, I confess.
You are dreaming to reach my neighboring height; I am why.
Go and ask “Haloo” since he knows who I am, I confess.
He might reach out to me, I know he just might, I am why.

Note: This is a Ghazal. The rhyming in Ghazal ends like AA bA cA dA eA etc. It comes in two different forms with and without refrain. The main refrain in this Ghazal is
“I am why”, but I added a secondary refrain “I confess”. I have never seen a Ghazal in any language with two different refrains.
