Ghazal Thirty-four
Very soothing it is to recite his adoration through the tongue,
As the recitation of his name endows sweetness to the lips.(1)
How charming is your chin, the epitome of an apple,
In the garden, there can be found no fruit so savoury.(2)
Even a glimmer of yours has brightened my eyes,
And how charming is that splendour, I can sacrifice myself for it.(3)
The coils of your tresses have filched my heart;
As a consequence, your pink lips, somehow, are very delectable.(4)
Oh, Goya, the savour endowed by your couplets,
Is surpassed not by any other taste.(5)(34)
