My Destiny Is Writ With The Desolation Of The
Deserts. This Ghazal Is An Expression Of Longing And
Yearning For The Beloved; There Is Sadness And A
Sense Of Desolation Mixed Together, On Being Away Or
Separated From One′s Beloved. The Pain Of Separation Is
Being Felt Very Intensely By The Poet, To The
Extent That Life And Existence Is Without Meaning. The
Beautiful Vistas Of Grace And Loveliness Have Ultimately Transformed
Into A Panorama Of Distress. The Poet Refers Probably
To The Memories Of Earlier Meetings – The Memories
And Visions Of Loveliness And Fondness Which He Remembers.
Now That There Is Separation From The Beloved, These
Lovely Memories Add To The Distress And Longing. The
Mood Of Dejection And Despair Is So Intense That
Even Fragments Of Ashes Seem Like An Oasis (meaning
That The Life Is So Bereft Of Anything And
Barren That Even Particles Of Ash Are A Consolation).
Since I Have Seen You, There Is A Pain
Of Longing And Desire That Has Permeated My Heart.
O Gentle Breeze Of The Morning, Please Carry And
Convey To Her The Tale Of My Sleepless Nights.
(The Third Verse Should Be Sequenced As Follows: Barq-e-jamaal-e-yaar,
Tunjh Pe Hai Nissaar Josh-e-junoon-e-ishq Ki Ruswaaiyaan – I
Dedicate All The Dishonor Of The Madness Of Love
To The Sparkling Elegance Of My Beloved). Hail The
Wondrous Sparkling Elegance Of My Beloved. Oh For Such
Loveliness And Beauty I Would Think Nothing Of And
Even Gladly Welcome The Suffering Of The Dishonor And
Disrepute That This World Inflicts On The Likes Of
Me Whose Excitement And Insanity In Love Knows No
Bounds. Even The Disgrace And Humiliation That This World
Associates With Those Who Are Mad In Love, Is
A Small Price To Pay For Just A Glimpse
Of The Shining Loveliness And Beauty Of My Beloved.
Farewell O My Traveling Companions On This Journey Of
Life, Just Forsake Me And Let Me Be, For
My Destiny Is Writ With The Desolation Of The
Desert. The Kaafila Or Karvaan Is Traditionally A Group
That Journeys Through The Deserts; They Have To Keep
Together For Safety And Survival. Life Is Being With
And In This Kaafila. The Poet Is Requesting To
Be Let Off From Life Itself. The Dasht Or
Desert That The Poet Refers To Is The Undefined
State In Between The Living And The Dead. He
Isn't Dead For He Still Thinks And Feels. But
The Pain Of Longing (to Be With And To
See The Beloved) Is So Intense That Life Does
Not Matter Anymore. And If He Cannot Be With
His Beloved, He Would Prefer To Step Off The
Kaafila Of The Living, And Accept His Destiny To
Wander Friendless In This Undefined Desert Of Loneliness.
