Ghazal Fifty-seven
We remain alive eternally by recollecting the Almighty,
As we are, for ever, indebted to his compassion.(1)
The egoist revels in no meditation,
(Not realising) that the Almighty is the master and we are his slaves.(2)
In this effigy of dust, his own accomplishment lies,
And through this we realise the provider of all.(3)
I have laid my head at the feet of that Great King,
And have sought redemption from both, the temporal and the celestial
domains.(4)
In all the visions, there is nothing but his light,
And that is why I have sought the company of the sublime beings.(5)
Since the time I have attached myself to him,
I have earned the graceful touch of his feet.(6)
Who is Goya Just a worshipper of the Godly name.
And (on his account) we have glittered like the sun.(7)(57)
