The beloved’s hair is a chain of calamity’s snare, Ghazal 47 by Saadi
Description: In this ghazal, Saadi explores the themes of love's trials and the lover's submission. The beloved’s beauty is portrayed as a source of both anguish and bliss, with their hair becoming a metaphorical snare that entraps those who dare love them. Saadi accepts the highs and lows of love—whether kindness or cruelty—as divinely ordained and inherently just. The poem celebrates unconditional devotion, emphasizing that the true lover finds sweetness even in suffering, with every action of the beloved viewed as a blessing. Through this, Saadi presents love as transcendent and all-consuming, beyond reason or complaint.
