Ghazal Thirty-two
A sack full of raw-sugar is not sweeter than your modest semblance.
Just as there can’t be a better simile, than the one which I have
narrated.(1)
If you are seeking union with her, then get acquainted with the trait of
separation.
Unless the guide is there, how can you reach the destination(2)
Abandon not the stole of your eye lashes from your hands,
Till the time the pocket of your desires is filled with the pearls.(3)
The branch of the tree of desires of a lover does not bear fruits,
Unless it is watered with the tears through the eye-lashes.(4)
Oh, Goya, the fool, don’t boast about your love,
As, only he can travel on this path who does not keep a head.(5)(32)
