1) I will show a spectacle, if the age/world/heavens
would give me leisure
2) my every wound/scar in the heart is a single/unique/excellent seed of
a 'fireworks-tree'
zamaanah : 'Time, period, duration; season; a long time; an age; (in Gram.) tense; --the world; the heavens; fortune, destiny'. (Platts p.617)
ek : 'One, single, sole, alone, only, a, an; the same, identical; only one; a certain one; single of its kind, unique, singular, preëminent, excellent'. (Platts p.113)
[The commentator Asi aasii says:] It's a very good verse. The subtlety is that my love increases daily. 'If the age gives me leisure' is an expression of despair. (33)
A 'fireworks-tree' is a kind of fireworks that resembles a cypress tree; when the trunk is lit, the branches sway and glow like lamps. And when the fuel is exhausted, it goes out with a sound like a crack. (118).
If I ever have the leisure (which I perhaps never will), I will show you a tamaashaa , a 'spectacle'-- perhaps even one with both worldly and mystical dimensions.
Alas-- I am so beset by griefs and cares that I scarcely have even the breathing space it would take to light a fireworks-tree and watch it burn. And yet the burning wounds/scars in my heart could generate many such fireworks-trees. Every one of these wounds is ik tu;xm -- a single seed? Only a seed? A certain seed (particularly identified)? A unique seed? An excellent or preeminent seed? As so often, it's up to us to decide.
Whatever kind of 'seed' it may be, it's as efficacious as the tiny acorn that contains within itself the essence of a mighty oak. In fact the wounds/scars can even dazzle like the sun itself, as in {62,8}. And the chiraa;Gaa;N can be treated like a carnival display, as can be seen, with other examples, in {5,5}.
On the use of the perfect verb form as a subjunctive, see {35,9}.
Nazm:
That is, from every single wound/scar a fire-filled lament will issue, for which a 'fireworks-tree' has been used as a simile. (11)
