The cypress of the garden bows before your grace, Ghazal 54 by Saadi
Description: This ghazal by Saadi Shirazi is a poetic exaltation of the beloved’s unmatched beauty and charm, with the natural world and celestial wonders paling in comparison. The beloved’s allure captivates all, leaving no heart untouched, and even seasons of spiritual devotion like Sha’ban and Ramadan are powerless against their mesmerizing gaze. Saadi reflects on the inescapable pull of love, likening it to a snare from which no one escapes unscathed. The poem concludes with a sharp rebuke to those who cannot appreciate the sweetness of love, equating their denial to finding bitterness in sugarcane. It is a celebration of love’s supremacy over reason and restraint.
