Ghazal Forty-four
We have a prominent relationship with you,
And your advent is the harbinger of happiness to the world.(1)
My blooming heart and outstretched vision,
All, I have spread on the way you are coming.(2)
Be benevolent to the devotees of the Almighty,
To savour the happiness, prevailing in the world.(3)
Always put your thoughts towards the Divine avenues,
So that you can easily cross over the bridge of Siraat*.(4)
None is happy and contented under this firmament,
O, Goya, now you just pass through this dilapidated inn.(5)(44)
* According to the Muslim belief, a bridge that is as narrow asa hair as
sharp as the edge of a sword and crosses over the fire of hell.
