Ghazal of Kaifi – Rāg Zila, Tāl Dādrā
What room for dispute is there in good and evil (shar)? Since you are human (bashar), everything is in human.
This creature is a human, hopeful of forgiveness of his faults. He is helpless in matters of destiny and fate.
I know that my honour does not rest in my opinion or yours.
My madness is no less than your splendour, this too is cause for a crowd in your street.
So Kaifi is the worst of the worst, but still, tell the truth: In your view is there really anyone like him?
* * * Heartily, Puran |
