Wherever my friend resides, whether in the wilderness or city, Ghazal 113 by Saadi
Description: In this ghazal, Saadi reflects on the transformative and all-consuming power of love, especially for a beloved of unparalleled beauty. He marvels at the devotion inspired by a single glimpse of the beloved, questions the futility of yearning for union when true love requires selfless remembrance, and portrays love as a force that raids the heart daily, leaving no room for escape. The poet contrasts the perfection of the beloved with the pain and turmoil of loving them, acknowledging his own surrender to the madness of love. The ghazal beautifully captures the paradox of love: sweet yet bitter, elevating yet painful, and universally inescapable.
