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

“حسد سے دل اگر افسردہ ہے، گرمِ تماشا ہو
کہ چشمِ تنگ شاید کثرتِ نظّارہ سے وا ہو”
― Ghalib

“The object of my worship lies beyond perceptions reach; For men who see, the Ka'ba is a compass, nothing more.”
― Ghalib

“In Paradise it is true that I shall drink at dawn the pure wine mentioned in the Koran, but where in Paradise are the long walks with intoxicated friends in the night, or the drunken crowds shouting merrily? Where shall I find there the intoxication of Monsoon clouds? Where there is no Autumn how can Spring exist? If the beautiful houris are always there, where will be the sadness of a separation and the joy of union? Where shall we find there a girl who flees away when we would kiss her?”
― Ghalib
