As long as the burden of your sorrow weighs upon my faint heart, Ghazal 16 from Saadi
Description: In this ghazal, Saadi conveys the depth of his love and devotion, expressing how his beloved’s absence consumes him. His longing is so intense that even the beauty of flowers holds no allure, as his thoughts are only of his beloved. Saadi reveals that nothing, not even other pleasures, can replace the sweetness of being near his beloved. Even if offered in abundance, they turn bitter without the beloved’s presence. In the end, Saadi submits to love’s hold, offering himself wholly, even if it means surrendering his life, so long as he remains with the one he loves. This ghazal speaks to love’s consuming power and a lover’s willingness to endure suffering for devotion.
