Ghazal Eighteen
This playful vision takes away my mind and the faith.
And also this benign sight takes me out of the deep rooted anxieties.(1)
The strand of her hair raises tribulations,
And her frolicsome glance endows merriment to the world.(2)
The dust of her feet is the enlightenment of the mind,
And the propitious sight may be the leading kindly light.(3)
The one who has tasted the effect of that bright eye,
Does not raise his eye even to relish a rose.(4)
Goya, one who concedes to her dextrous looks,
May be once, all his apprehensions are decimated.(5)(18)
