Lost in Love’s Ecstasy

Shah Nimatullah Wali, a 14th-century Persian poet and Sufi master, is known for his deeply spiritual and love-infused poetry. His verses often reflect the mystical journey of the soul, where love transcends the physical world and leads to divine unity. In this ghazal, the poet surrenders himself entirely to love, losing all sense of self and worldly concerns. The poem beautifully captures the intoxication of divine love, where the seeker dissolves into the beloved and finds true joy beyond the material world.

🌿 In love with you, we have lost our mind,

Drifting beyond the self, leaving all behind.

💫 No other longing, no worldly desire,

Freed from both worlds, our hearts set afire.

✨ We know of nothing but your radiant face,

Through your beauty, we found our place.

🌙 In your air, many have given their soul,

Yet your fragrance revives, making us whole.
