Ghazal Thirty-eight
Oh, you the perceiver of secrets one, I have reached the limits of your
avenue,
And now I have turned my attention away from all other directions.(1)
Since the time our roaming around your approaches has enhanced,
I have abandoned the aspiration, even, for the most charming
paradise.(2)
With a tress imbued with fragrance, she has captured my heart and the
faith,
And that is what I have earned by dint of this long life.(3)
The Quran of your semblance remains intrinsically inscribed in every
mind,
And for the performers of the prayers, your eye-brows are the prayeralcoves.(4)
How can I say, without you, in what condition my heart is
It is like a candle whose destiny is burning and melting.(5)(38)
