Like a Wandering Bubble
I, like a wandering bubble, Am blown here and there Shifting and changing and fashioned Of water and air. Thou turnest thy face, O Belovéd, I cannot tell why, Art thou shy of a mirror, Belovéd? Thy mirror am I! When over her face she unloosened The dusk of her hair, What need had the world of the cloud-wreaths, They fled in despair. Ghulam Hamdani Mushafi (1725-1824)
