hazaron khwahishen aisi ki har khwahish pe dam nikle bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle

— Mirza Ghalib

हज़ारों ख़्वाहिशें ऐसी कि हर ख़्वाहिश पे दम निकले बहुत निकले मिरे अरमान लेकिन फिर भी कम निकले

Thousands of desires, each one worth dying for; many of my longings came true, and still they were too few.

hum ko un se wafa ki hai ummeed jo nahin jaante wafa kya hai

har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ki tu kya hai tumhi kaho ki ye andaaz-e-guftagu kya hai

hui muddat ki 'Ghalib' mar gaya par yaad aata hai wo har ik baat par kehna ki yun hota to kya hota

ye masail-e-tasawwuf, ye tera bayaan 'Ghalib' tujhe hum wali samajhte jo na baada-khwaar hota

nikalna khuld se aadam ka sunte aaye hain lekin bahut be-aabru ho kar tere kooche se hum nikle

aah ko chahiye ik umr asar hone tak kaun jeeta hai teri zulf ke sar hone tak
