Ghazal of Shadan – Rāg Jogī Āsavārī, Tāl Qavalī
How could a mind such as mine absorb such words as yours? I am caught in the idol's speech, I don't have a chance.
At night, stars twinkling, I beheld a wondrous sight: The Beloved has come home – Saqi, fill our cup!
Though that jewel-like beauty was before me, I could not see him. In the dark nights I forgot, until the lamp reminded me.
My love, consider a little your affection for me, what is it all about? Having wandered after you day and night, now I find only your footprint.
Tell me, Shadan, why, despite his fortune, isn’t there joy in every household? If we were Shah Alexander on horseback, wouldn’t the jungle be a garden for us? . * * * Heartily, Puran |
