With wisdom, virtue, and piety, such goodness resides, Ghazal 88 by Saadi
Description: In this ghazal, Saadi reflects on the virtues and captivating qualities of the beloved, praising their unmatched beauty, wisdom, and charm. He portrays the lover’s deep devotion, even to the point of losing self-control, tearing garments in anguish, and navigating the paradoxes of love. The imagery of nature—verdant earth, musky breezes, and pearl-like rain—sets a dreamy, romantic scene, contrasting with the turmoil in the lover’s heart. Saadi concludes with advice on loyalty in love: to remain steadfast and undivided in devotion, for love is a path where reputation and worldly concerns are secondary. The poem weaves passion with a spiritual undertone, encapsulating Saadi’s mastery of blending human love with higher ideals.
