Ghazal Thirty
Whereas the poverty stricken (mentally) with no baggage
(consciousness) are heeded not,
Where the sovereigns have no approach, we have attained.(1)
They don’t want to buy even a thousand high heavens for just half a
grain of barley,
Because none from them can reach the avenues of the beloved.(2)
The physician of love, it is said, has so expounded,
That the maladies of the vagrants, no body except the Almighty,
knows.(3)
If you want to achieve the enlightenment for the vision of your heart,
Remember, that no antimony, can reach the dust of the celestial portal.(4)
Recollecting the friend, the life span can be expended,
As there is no other medication comparable to that.(5)
All the temporal wealth, I trade for the dust of his portal,
Because, unless I sacrifice myself for him, I cannot achieve him.(6)
Goya endears himself to the dust of his sanctuary,
(Because,) unless one eliminates the self in the dust, one cannot realise
the goal.(7)(30)
