Drunken, he emerged from the tavern, Ghazal 28 by Hafez
Description: This ghazal by Saadi explores themes of divine intoxication, love, and spiritual surrender. The poet describes a figure emerging from the tavern, symbolic of breaking free from worldly constraints. Casting off the facade of piety and embracing sincerity, the beloved captivates hearts with a burning presence likened to a flame. Saadi reflects on the transformative and all-consuming nature of love, declaring the futility of patience and the fleeting nature of life. The poem concludes with an acceptance of life's impermanence, with Saadi finding solace in the bittersweet embrace of the tavern's wine, a metaphor for divine or existential surrender.
