Ghazal Forty-two
Whosoever discerns your attributes,
He emancipates himself of hundreds of deep-rooted adversities.(1)
Heeding to the expositions of the perfect and pious master is nectar for
us,
It is like the resuscitation and deliverance of the stagnant hearts.(2)
The Almighty is miles away from your egoist pretence,
But, if you implore your insight, you may be emancipated from your
vanity.(3)
Oh, Goya, you withdraw your hands away from greediness and
attachments,
So that you may espy the Almighty in your inner-self.(4)(42)
