Ghazal Twenty-eight
My hands may always be absorbed in the travails,
But, what can I do, my heart stalks towards the beloved.(1)
Though the sound of ‘You can’t see me’ echoes into all the bearings of
his heart,
Musa went ahead to espy the Almighty.(2)
This is not an eye which rolls down tears,
The cup of affection is always full to the brim.(3)
Heart-filcher and the heart are in unison in the body,
And, that is why, the heart always dashes towards the sweetheart.(4)
In both the domains his head remains high with pride,
who, like Mansoor, treads towards the noose(5)
Goya has attained the real life in the rememberance of the sweet-heart
Why should he now visit the tavern(6)(28)
