Interpretation-Ghazal-4





1.
Your expression says,if I found your heart lying somewhere will not return,
Here there is no heart at all,that I might lose.But from this intimacy I understood that the heart is in your custody alone.


2.
For me life was a single pain,passion became its cure,
And the passion itself is an incurable pain.
( Only GHALIB could express this excellence.)

3.
There is no trusting of the heart,for it is a friend of foe(Beloved),
In a sigh there is no effect,in a lament there is no access.
( The heart does not wish to restless the beloved.)

4.
It is cleverness and and awareness and outwardly and ignorance,
Beloved showing ignorance to my situation,is in order to taste my love and courage.

5.
I know that spring season is coming,
From this,that my heart is turning into blood.
( A lover without a heart expresses the suspicious about the bud.)

6.
We are not aware of the condition of the heart,such that,
Do not even know when the passion originates and how it originates.

7.
Adviser's unnecessary advise sprinkled salt on the wound,the pleasure heart alone know,
Some body should ask the adviser, What pleasure he received.
