The foot of the cypress in the garden is stuck in the mud, Ghazal 72 by Saadi
Description: This ghazal by Saadi Shirazi explores the overwhelming power of love, depicting it as an all-consuming force that transcends logic, societal norms, and material attachments. Saadi paints a vivid picture of the lover's state—drowning in passion, defying reason, and willing to sacrifice everything for a glimpse of the beloved. The poem also reflects on the paradoxical nature of love: while the world may see lovers as mad, in truth, they possess a higher wisdom. With themes of longing, sacrifice, and the eternal pull of the beloved, this ghazal captures the essence of divine and earthly love.
