Ye na thi hamari qismat ki visal e yaar hota

Sher byMirza Ghalib · 1797–1869

Hinglish

ye na thi hamari qismat ki visal-e-yaar hota agar aur jeete rehte yahi intezaar hota

— Mirza Ghalib

ये न थी हमारी क़िस्मत कि विसाल-ए-यार होता अगर और जीते रहते यही इंतज़ार होता

It was never my fate to be united with my beloved; had I lived longer, it would only have been more of this waiting.

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
