Ghazal Fifty-nine
Whenever we lift our eyelids to have the glimpse of our affectionate
one,
The pearl-dropping eyes pour like a flowing river.(1)
Wherever we glance, we come across our benefactor’s semblance,
As we never care to look at the strangers.(2)
O you, the recounting devotee, hinder me not from beholding the pretty
one,
As I have focused my sight on the visage of my beloved.(3)
Except heeding the narration through your countenance, I have relished
nothing as the food for thought,
And on the way to your abode, I have repeated it again and again.(4)
Goya ! we have got enchanted with the vision of the beloved,
Why should we, then, long for mysterious wine.(5)(59)
