Hezar Jahd, Sa'di, Mohammad Reza Shajarian Hezar Jahd, Sa'di, Mohammad Reza Shajarian I Tried a Thousand Ways... Sa'di » Poetry Collection » Ghazals » Ghazal No. 405 1:47 I tried a thousand ways to hide the secret of my love, But I couldn't help boiling, whilst being on fire! 3:27 I was alert from the start not to fall in love, But when I saw your beauty, I lost my reason and sense! 5:00 A story from your lips reached the ears of my soul, Ever since, people's advice is an idle tale to my ears! 6:41 Perhaps you will veil your face, to put out [the fire of] temptation, Otherwise, I do not have the strength to look away from your beauty! 9:33 It is best that I should not enter the hall of Sema' (spiritual dance), with my distracted heart, For I'd enter on my feet, but return [unconscious] on the shoulders [of others]. 12:19 Come and make peace with me today; and hold me in your embrace tonight; For I have not slept all night, longing for you! 13:10 You gave me up for nothing, yet I am still determined not to sell a single hair of yours in exchange for the whole world! 14:11 Don't say to me, 'O Sa'di, Give up the path of Love.' Your words are useless; and I do not listen to advice. 15:28 Walking in the desert is better than sitting in idleness; Even if I don't reach my goal, the effort itself is worthwhile.
