What visage is this before the caravan, Ghazal 81 by Saadi
Description: This ghazal by Saadi reflects themes of beauty, loyalty, and betrayal. The poet marvels at the celestial beauty of the beloved, likening her presence to heavenly and royal imagery, such as Solomon's throne or the moon in the sky. However, the tone shifts as Saadi laments the burden of unrequited love and the cruelty of a faithless beloved. He reflects on his own loyalty in contrast to the betrayal he has faced, highlighting the futility of wrestling with youthful passions in the twilight of life. The poem is a blend of admiration, grief, and resignation, capturing the complex emotions of love and loss.
