When the cloud of your hair encircled the moon’s glow, Ghazal 132 by Saadi
Description: In this elegant ghazal, Saadi masterfully blends the beauty of nature with the agony of love. The poet compares his beloved's hair to a cloud surrounding the moon and laments how tears stream from his eyes in longing. Even the bitterness of rejection becomes a sweet solace when compared to his suffering. Saadi emphasizes the transformative power of love: a mere touch of the beloved brings life to the lifeless. He reveals his consuming madness, likening it to the fervor of a pen lost in creative inspiration. The ghazal captures the duality of love—its pain and sweetness—and Saadi’s devotion, expressed through poetic melancholy.
