Ghazal of Jami – Rāg Jogī Āsavārī, Tāl Qavalī
A Zephyr came from the lanes of Madinah; all awareness was transported. By the fragrance of that ambergris-wafting hair, mind and spirit went black.
I long for the place where I met the beauty of the south wind, for from those environs I was sent the promise of union.
I am fallen in the riverbed of sorrow, the reins of your memory released from my hand. Without friendship of fortune, guidance of intelligence, strength of body or forbearance of heart.
The sanctuary is your lane, the Ka’aba of the heart. Beauty is your face, the prayer-niche of the soul. Truly we have bowed down to you, truly we have aspired to you.
Servile at your threshold, Jami did not behold the breadth of Being, for he sat in the corner of your separation and took refuge in the lane of your affliction.
* * * Heartily, Puran |
