Ghazal Eleven
If the heart of mine passes through the halter of her tresses,
It would deem to have gone through the countries of Khutan, China-
Machine and Khatai*.(1)
One glance of your semblance, for me, is the sovereignty of both the
worlds.
Being under the shadow of your tress, far excels the spectrum of the
wings of Huma**.(2)
Optimistically, steer the capital of your life span,
As I know not, which way the early morning breeze may come and
go.(3)
The sovereignty of both the worlds, is nothing but tumult,
And the holyman does not take that as the Godly benevolence.(4)
About passing through this destitute land, what you have asked
There, they all will go through, the kings as well as the indigent ones.(5)
The couplets of Goya, are endower of life like the immortal water.
Moreover, in piety, they, even, surpass the life rejuvenators.(6)(11)
* China and adjoining countries.
** Huma is a mythological bird which stays in the skies and any body
passing under its shadow attains kingship
