Nikalna khuld se aadam ka sunte aaye hain lekin

Sher byMirza Ghalib · 1797–1869

Hinglish

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

— Mirza Ghalib

निकलना ख़ुल्द से आदम का सुनते आए हैं लेकिन बहुत बे-आबरू हो कर तेरे कूचे से हम निकले

We have always heard how Adam was driven out of paradise, but I left your street in far greater disgrace.

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

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
