Ghazal One
A yearning for celestial adoration engendered my existence,
Otherwise, I fancied not the tangibility.(1)
How creative is the life passed in his retention,
Diversely, what gain do I have under this blue dome(2)
With the lack of your remembrance I wane,
And without your recollection what use is my living(3)
My heart and soul I sacrifice at the altar of that pious being,
Who revealed to me this kindly light.(4)
Neither there was the earth, nor the sky,
When the obsession for a glimpse of yours brought me down to pay my
obeisance.(5)
Oh Goya, I can endure not, without pondering upon you,
And soon I will be liberated to converge onto my benefactor.(6)(1)
