Ghazal Forty-six
Whereas, O My Beloved, your semblance is a source of illumination
for the candle,
There, the pearl-shedding candle-light is scattering the tears.(1)
Wherever the candlelight is kindled,
It becomes the illuminated flower of the garden of the candle.(2)
Since the time you illuminated your visage,
The candlelight is sacrificing itself for you a hundred times.(3)
To sacrifice themselves for sake of your face,
The tearful eyes of the candlelight are showering their life.(4)
Tonight you came not and waiting for you,
The searing glow of candlelight scorched the multitude.(5)
Goya, how amazing and beautiful is the sight of early morning!
All the humanity is in slumber but the candlelight is still beaming.(6)(46)
