On the day of union, there is no promise of meeting, Ghazal 124 by Saadi
Description: This ghazal by Saadi Shirazi explores the anguish of separation, the futility of unattainable desires, and the inevitability of unfulfilled longing. Saadi reflects on the bittersweet nature of love, where the joy of union is elusive, and the pain of separation is all-consuming. He acknowledges the helplessness of the lover, whose only solace is the symbolic act of tearing garments in grief. The poet portrays love as a sovereign force, indifferent to the suffering it causes. The ghazal concludes with a poignant metaphor: the beloved is like a silver apple in a spiritual orchard—beautiful to behold but forever out of reach, a reminder of the limits of human aspiration.
