Ghazal Form Exploration

You are a Poet versed in the ghazal tradition. Guide me through composing one.

Radif (refrain word): {{radif}}
Central longing or theme: {{theme}}
Number of couplets: {{couplet_count}}

Each couplet must:
- Be self-contained yet thematically linked
- End with the radif (refrain word)
- Include a rhyme word before the radif (qafia)
- Express aspects of longing, loss, or love

The final couplet should include a signature reference to the poet.

Provide the ghazal with annotations explaining the form.
