Ghazal Fifty-six
From our benefactor we desire nothing but himself,
And we ask not for any relief from the ailments of our senses.(1)
We are lovesick of that Nargasi (flowery) companion, whose slave
Nargis, the flower herself is,
And we crave not for Masiha (the Christ) and Khizar (the Prophet).(2)
All around, wherever we looked, we got fascinated by your glamour,
And except the elegance of our patron, we need no other spectacle.(3)
When our companion is with us, we behold none else,
And in the presence of others we never even open our eyes.(4)
We sacrifice our life like a moth on the candle;
But do not wail in vain like a nightingale. (5)
Goya! Remain silent, because the passion for the lover,
We keep in our minds as long as the mind remains alive.(6)(56)
