I Swear
I Swear - meaning Summary
World Dissolved by Love
The poem describes how encountering the beloved transforms perception: the external world becomes illusory and ordinary distinctions collapse. Natural images—gardens, birds, the moon—lose their separate identities as everything is overwhelmed by a boundless presence of love. The speaker’s heart becomes a mirror filled with the beloved’s beauty, leaving worldly cares and traps indistinguishable. It conveys mystical union where inner vision supersedes outward reality.
Read Complete AnalysesI swear, since seeing Your face, the whole world is fraud and fantasy The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf or blossom. The distracted birds can’t distinguish the birdseed from the snare. A house of love with no limits, a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon, a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.
The Divani Shamsi Tabriz XV
