Ghazal of Amir – Rāg Husainī Kānārā, Tāl Qavālī
Come from self-regard to selflessness, ardour of worship.
That which you take from nothingness, O heedless one, is the real being.
Traveller beware, the road of being is a fearsome stretch.
Here are the camps of cutthroats, There are the hideouts of thieves.
Languid with wine, their eyes say: ‘ What business have you here? This is the district of drunks.’
Youth will leave a scar, do not glorify it heedlessly.
Is the proud strut of the peacock any sort of ecstasy?
Amir, all those who travel this road are plundered. It Is the neighbourhood of beauties, the quarter of thieves.
* * * Heartily, Puran |
