Ye masail e tasawwuf ye tera bayan ghalib

Sher byMirza Ghalib · 1797–1869

Hinglish

ye masail-e-tasawwuf, ye tera bayaan 'Ghalib' tujhe hum wali samajhte jo na baada-khwaar hota

— Mirza Ghalib

ये मसाइल-ए-तसव्वुफ़ ये तेरा बयान 'ग़ालिब' तुझे हम वली समझते जो न बादा-ख़्वार होता

These questions of mysticism, and the way you speak of them, Ghalib — we would have taken you for a saint, were you not a drinker.

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

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
