Ghazal Fifty-three
When the Almighty exists in all the postures,
Why are you indulging in other undertakings(1)
Oh my life, do nothing but praise the Lord,
And becoming his worshipper, procure his benefaction.(2)
All the time passed without reflecting upon him,
According to the impeccable ones, is just calamitous.(3)
Wherever you see, there is nothing but himself,
Just at the time of union, why do you become oblivious.(4)
Goya, don’t articulate a word except the name of the Almighty,
As all the rest of the tattle is just specious.(5)(53)
