For background see S. R. Faruqi's choices . For more on Ghalib's unpublished verses, see the discussion in 4,8x . There's an enjoyable affinity between the 'face, aspect' [] in the first line, and the 'face, aspect' [] in the second line. In the first line, the face is that of the beloved, radiant and glowing with beauty. (It might seem grammatically that it could also be that of the lover, who's feverish with the fire of passion, but ghazal convention establishes that the is a quality of radiant glory possessed by the beloved.) There's a cleverly multivalent construction in the second line: if the speaker is , is he fluttering his wings because he's in the process of burning, or are they quivering because he eagerly anticipates the burning, or does he flutter them in order to fan the flames to hasten the burning? In any case, the in the second line ordinarily and readily means something general like 'with the aspect of' or 'like': the speaker is feverish and agitated 'like a Moth'. But close to the surface always lurks a literal sense: the speaker may actually have not only the 'wings' and the passions, but even the appearance, of a Moth. graphics/mothcandle.jpg
