Ghazal Thirty-five
The enlightened ones are inclined to go to her abode,
As the lover’s avenue gratifies the adherent.(1)
Her tresses have enchanted the whole world,
And for her enthusiasts, her hair is captivating.(2)
I can sacrifice even the heavenly garden for her,
Because I feel enthralled in her avenue.(3)
I attain life through the auspicious dust of her feet,
As her walking-in is the harbinger of soothing fragrance.(4)
The remembrance of the Almighty is tranquillising,
And it is mellower than all the sweet fruits.(5)
You may become the acqua of benevolence for the whole world,
If such an aspiration fascinates your mind.(6)
Goya’s couplets are so fruitful in India,
That they deem even sweeter than the milk and sugar.(7)(35)
