Ghazal Forty-nine
Her coming for a rendezvous has eliminated the cause of separation,
How long could I have gone on narrating the account of my alienation(1)
Except you, there is none in and outside my vision,
And nor does there exist any trace of estrangement.(2)
As yet the alienation had not soiled my encounter with you,
As I had heard the criterion of reunion through separation.(3)
Alienation from you has so scorched my heart,
That the lightening my cries has incinerated the abode of isolation.(4)
What has this isolation from you done to Goya’s thinking
Its narration is beyond description.(5)(49)
