A Heart in Longing
Amir Khusrow Dehlavi, a 13th-century Persian poet and Sufi musician, is celebrated for his mesmerizing poetry, rich with themes of love, devotion, and longing. His verses bridge the gap between earthly love and spiritual yearning, often portraying the pain of separation from the beloved. In this ghazal, the poet speaks of a heart shattered by love, eyes filled with tears, and the restless yearning to reunite with the beloved. The poem beautifully encapsulates the agony of waiting and the deep hope that one day, love will heal all wounds.
