Ghazal Twenty-one
The eastern breeze combing through her tresses,
Seems like an exotic chain coiling around, encasing my agitated heart.(1)
Since the primordial times, we presume, the human frame,
He, himself, has created for his own abode.(2)
The heart of a lover soon turns into that of the beloved,
And, from head to feet, he becomes the embodiment of the darling.(3)
Just for one piece of bread, why are you roaming around, mean one
You know, how the urge for grabbing an iota made Adam the slave of
greediness.(4)
Do not relate Laila’s anecdote to the distraught Goya,
As the Majnu’s narrative is fathomed only by a crazy like me.(5)(21)
