Hum ko maloom hai jannat ki haqeeqat lekin

Sher byMirza Ghalib · 1797–1869

Hinglish

hum ko maloom hai jannat ki haqeeqat lekin dil ke khush rakhne ko 'Ghalib' ye khayal achha hai

— Mirza Ghalib

हम को मालूम है जन्नत की हक़ीक़त लेकिन दिल के ख़ुश रखने को 'ग़ालिब' ये ख़याल अच्छा है

I know the truth about paradise, but to keep the heart content, Ghalib, it is a pleasing thought.

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
