The sun itself hides beneath the shadow of their night-black hair, Ghazal 94 by Saadi
Description: In this ghazal, Saadi Shirazi masterfully weaves together themes of love, beauty, and devotion. The poet likens the beloved’s attributes to celestial and divine phenomena: their hair eclipses the sun, their stature is as awe-inspiring as the Day of Resurrection, and their lips hold the elixir of life. The poem captures the poet’s surrender to love, portraying their heart as a once-proud bird now ensnared in the beloved’s captivating tresses. Saadi expresses both joy and torment, finding fulfillment in their beloved’s presence yet grappling with uncertainty over their loyalty. The ghazal encapsulates the paradoxical nature of love—where beauty brings both ecstasy and suffering, and devotion becomes the ultimate purpose.
