Hum ne mana ki taghaful na karoge lekin

Sher byMirza Ghalib · 1797–1869

Hinglish

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

— Mirza Ghalib

हम ने माना कि तग़ाफ़ुल न करोगे लेकिन ख़ाक हो जाएँगे हम तुम को ख़बर होने तक

I grant that you will not ignore me, but I will have turned to dust by the time the news reaches you.

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
