Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib
“Whereas it is difficult for everything to work out easily,
A man cannot even afford to be a human”
Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib

Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib
“रोने से और इश्क़ में बेबाक हो गये,
धोये गये हम ऐसे कि बस पाक हो गये.

कहता है कौन नाला-ए-बुलबुल को बे-असर,
परदे में गुल कि लाख जिगर चाक हो गये.

करने गये थे उससे तग़ाफ़ुल का हम गिला,
की एक ही निगाह कि बस ख़ाक हो गये.

इस रंग से उठाई कल उसने असद की लाश,
दुश्मन भी जिसको देखके ग़मनाक हो गये.”
Mirza Ghalib, Love Sonnets of Ghalib [Jul 01, 2002] Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib

Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib
“Love demands patience, desire is restless; What color shall I paint the heart, until you savage it? You shall not ignore me when the time comes, I know, but I may turn to dust before the news reaches you.”
Ghalib

Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib
“Abschied und Wiedersehen
hat jedes doch sein Glück:
Geh tausendmal - und komm dann
zehntausendmal zurück!”
Ghalib

Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib
“He gave me heaven and earth, and assumed I'd be satisfied;
Actually I was too embarrassed to argue.

The spiritual seekers are tired, two or three at each stage of the path.
The rest who have given up never knew your address at all.

There are so many in this gathering who wish the candle well.
But if the being of the candle is melting, what can the sorrow-sharers do?”
Mirza Ghalib
