Interpretation-Ghazal-1



1.
We are separated and divided from the true source,
The existence of a picture is meaningless.It laments the life.

2.
In solitude and separation,do not ask about wear and tear I experienced,
To exist from night to morning is not less than bringing the river of milk.
(River of milk was difficult for Farhad, for me to exist from night to morning.)

3.
In my eagerness to get slain, such passion,
Is attracting the sword's dam, drawn out of the sword's chest.
(Dam=Breath and Edge)

4.
Even if the most intelligent spreads the net of hearing, even then,
The meaning of my speech is Anqa, my verse is a mystery.
(Anqa bird=Upon which nets can never be flung.)

5.
Restless person is having fire under the feet.It seems ankle fetters singed hairs,
and when a hair sees fire, it curls up and takes a form of the link of a chain.
(Circles of chain=Eyes like fire‐raining from which fire of love emerging,which makes prisoner of love restless and uneasy.)
