Ghazal of Asif – Rāg Kafī Zila, Tāl Qāvālī
With your drunken eyes, you intoxicated the narcissus. With your appearance, you made the candle into a moth.
You, who made the house of mirrors into a fairy-house, Who has not been driven mad with your splendour?
He did not keep his lover’s heart in a single state: Now he built the Kaa’ba, now he made it an idol house.
I have suffered such hardships on the path of love. You have made my name stand for manly courage.
What is this that unexpectedly came over me today? Asif has renounced his creed of roguery.
