Oh, what a friend you are, with such a cypress-like stature, Ghazal 112 by Saadi
Description: In this ghazal, Saadi extols the beauty and allure of the beloved, portraying them as a divine blessing that leaves an indelible mark on all who encounter them. He reflects on the transformative power of love, where even the wise lose their composure and mystics falter in their focus. The poet contrasts the joy of the beloved’s presence, likened to spring mornings, with the agony of separation, symbolized by Yalda (the longest and darkest night). Saadi concludes by embracing his fall into love, acknowledging that he is not the first to be ensnared by its irresistible pull. The ghazal is a poetic meditation on love's universal and timeless grip on human hearts.
