Every dawn, the fragrance of flowers is from your garden, Ghazal 57 by Saadi
Description: This ghazal by Saadi is a lyrical homage to the beloved, whose beauty and essence are depicted as divine and unparalleled. Drawing on mystical and natural imagery, Saadi likens the beloved’s lips to the fountain of eternal life, their beauty to the sun and moon, and their fragrance to the morning breeze. The poet's admiration extends to mythic references, like Khidr and Joseph, to emphasize the beloved's transcendence. The ghazal concludes with Saadi’s yearning for intimacy, expressed humbly yet passionately through the metaphor of being a guest seeking the ultimate gift—a kiss. This poem beautifully weaves themes of divine love, longing, and devotion.
