Ghazal of Asif – Rāg Janglā, Tāl Dādrā
When the heart is of no use either to her or to me, then, O God, for what sickness is the heart the remedy?
My heart is the sacrifice to that stone-hearted one’s anger and violence. The miserable thing has come after my life, that heart.
In the quest for elixir, why sift through dust? Eliminate the ego, and the heart is the potion.
The sprawl of earth and heaven has no expanse. When it holds aspiration, the heart is vaster than all.
Though it be Asif on trial, so what, you must still exercise justice.
My aspiration is like everyone’s; every being has a heart!
* * * Heartily, Puran |
