Hum ko un se wafa ki hai ummeed

Sher byMirza Ghalib · 1797–1869

Hinglish

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

— Mirza Ghalib

हम को उन से वफ़ा की है उम्मीद जो नहीं जानते वफ़ा क्या है

I expect faithfulness from one who does not even know what faithfulness is.

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

hum ne maana ki taghaful na karoge lekin khaak ho jayenge hum tum ko khabar hone tak
