Ghazal Twenty-three
Oh, you, that your astral eyes, are not bound by the temporal domains,
And even the sun in the sky becomes insignificant when it faces you.(1)
To catch the lover’s heart, the hunting sweetheart,
Needs nothing but the halter of your tresses.(2)
At least, consider this life as benevolence,
As we have not come across any morning which culminates not in an
evening.(3)
How long may I console my mind
Because, without your glimpse, I feel not any alleviation.(4)
Goya, the eye, which sprinkled pearls, has turned into a river,
Because there is no solace without the vision of your comforting
semblance.(5)(23)
