[{1589,5}]

ab jo nasīm-e muʿat̤t̤ar āʾī shāyad bāl khule us ke
shahr kī sārī galyāñ ho gaʾīñ goyā ʿanbar-e sārā āj

1) now since a perfumed breeze has come, perhaps her hair has been loosened
2) all the lanes of the city became, so to speak, entirely ambergris today

This ghazal is the first of a set of two about which SRF makes special claims for an over-all 'musical' effect; see {1589,1} for his discussion. This verse has been included only in order to provide access to the whole ghazal.
