Ghazal Twenty-nine
Who is there, who is intoxicated in the love of his sweetheart
The one, who has a benefactor, is the sovereign of the world.(1)
Oh, you, the Mirthful One, I perceive that they will smite both the worlds,
Because, today, your exhilarated eyes are inebriated.(2)
The stole of my eye is imbued red through my heart’s gore,
Which itself has endowed a strange spring-time flavour to my mind.(3)
The one who attains the shadow of the gallows like Mansoor,
He neither desires for the shadow of Tooba the heavenly tree; nor aspires
for the heaven itself.(4)
Oh, you the Candlewick, sparkle your pink-flowery pretence, a while,
Because the sacrificing-moths and the nightingales are coming with some
errand to you.(5)
There may be chains around for all the demented ones,
But Goya just stays still in the halter of your tresses.(6)(29)
