Ghazal Seven
The beggar along your street has no aspiration for the kingdom.
Neither he wishes to rule, nor has be a yearning for the royal crown.(1)
One, who prevails over the domain of his heart, epitomises a king.
And the one who achieves him, is matched by no other veteran.(2)
The beggar in your avenue is the sovereign of both the worlds.
The juvenile slave of your tresses needs no emancipation.(3)
There exists no eye, which is exalted not with your radiance,
And there survives no bosom, which is not endowed with celestial
treasures (4)
Sacrifice yourself for him and make no hesitation, Goya,
Because there is no place for vacillations in our dealings.(5)(7)
