Love poems for hopeless romantics; I'm the poet and you're my muse.
A Journey Beyond the World
Shah Nimatullah Wali, a 14th-century Persian poet and Sufi master, is known for his deeply spiritual and mystical poetry. His verses often reflect the idea of the soul's journey beyond the material world, seeking divine truth and ultimate union. In this ghazal, he portrays life as a fleeting passage, where the soul moves like a traveler, unbothered by worldly struggles. With imagery of the sea, open plains, and the path of truth, the poem invites the reader to rise above earthly concerns and embrace the spiritual journey toward the divine.

The Wounds of Separation
Vahshi Bafqi, a 16th-century Persian poet, is renowned for his deeply emotional and sorrowful poetry. His verses often capture the torment of love, the pain of longing, and the agony of unfulfilled desires. In this ghazal, the poet expresses the grief of a love lost, where the beloved has departed, leaving the lover in tears and despair. Through vivid imagery of sleepless nights, unending sorrow, and the plea for kindness, the poem beautifully encapsulates the universal ache of separation and the desperate hope for a reunion.

Solid Footing
Do I dare to switch on the heating? Home, cozy, and only with you, Make me a Norwegian wood shelter. As I retreat from the world, You rise to the occasion and confront everything head-on. I look after you when you're in a panic, Because so much of what lies ahead is intolerably uncertain. My ears pound and my eyes swim, Till I feel like I'm half submerged. However, I won't have to travel far to reach you, And I'll be safe on solid ground when the rivers rise. Rest in your arms, With you at perfect rest, Be a remedy for the flaws in the past. If I've been careless with you, When so much of what lies ahead is unbearably unknown, It makes my eyes swim and my ears pound, Until I feel like I'm half drowned. However, when the floods rise, I won't have to run far to find you, And I'll be safe on solid ground. I look into your eyes, And I won't have to run anymore. So let me finally make it up to you, With a song from the heart. I am certain that you and I Are secure on solid footing.
