Ghazal Sixty-one
If you become faithful, none can there be disloyal,
And the opportune moment is that you enhance alertness.(1)
If you are endowed with life, then sacrifice it at the portal of the
benefactor,
And, by relinquishing your heart, become a benefactor yourself.(2)
The avenues of the love are unending, and beyond the tread,
Turn your head into your feet and take them to the sanctuary of the
lover.(3)
The people’s utterance is the prerogative of their individual reflections,
You just keep your deliberations secured to know your confidant.(4)
Goya trades his frantic heart in the hope,
That, perhaps you may become a procurer.(5)(61)
