Rise, let us cast aside this blue robe of hypocrisy, Ghazal 15 from Saadi
Description: In this ghazal, Saadi Shirazi calls for a rejection of hypocrisy and shallow displays of piety. He contrasts false devotion with a longing for true unity, inviting a dismantling of symbolic idols that lead people astray. Saadi reflects on his own desires, including wine and companionship, and humorously touches on his age while still chasing youthful pleasures. His heart yearns for open fields and the purity of love, even if it leaves him bereft of peace and reason. Saadi embraces his vulnerability and passion, insisting that true devotion transcends social judgment or Sufi restraint.
