Blessed is the place where my beloved’s resting ground lies, Ghazal 49 by Saadi
Description: In this heartfelt ghazal, Saadi Shirazi expresses a deep longing for union with his beloved, symbolizing either a human love or a divine connection. The poet describes the beloved as the source of his soul's comfort and healing, contrasting his lifeless state in the beloved's absence with the vitality and joy that proximity to the beloved would bring. Saadi’s attachment to Shiraz, where the beloved resides, underscores his yearning. The poem concludes with a call to move beyond worldly attachments and seek the realm of the free, a metaphor for spiritual transcendence or divine love.
