I said, perhaps in a dream, I may see the beloved’s face, Ghazal 98 by Saadi
Description: This ghazal reflects Saadi’s deep devotion to the beloved, capturing the joy and awe of witnessing their beauty, which he compares to the crescent moon of Eid. The poet expresses his indifference to worldly beauties, such as the tall cypress tree, as the beloved’s perfection surpasses all. He describes the true lover’s state of selflessness, fully engrossed in thoughts of the beloved. The final verse dismisses sleep itself, as Saadi’s eyes are dedicated solely to beholding or dreaming of the beloved. This poem beautifully conveys themes of divine or romantic love, spiritual devotion, and the transformative power of beauty.
