Mirza Ghalib
Hazaar khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
Bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle
Na main jaanaa jun-ko na woh jaane mast-e-daraa
Ke kis ka kaun hai tu tera kaun hai tera
Mohsin se dil ne waista kiya hai jo har roz
Bakhshish ke badle dard-e-dil ka sauda karte hain
Meaning
A thousand desires each worth dying for. Many wishes were fulfilled yet still too few.

Dil-e-nadan tujhe hua kya hai
Aakhir is dard ki dawa kya hai
Aah ko chahiye ek umr asar hone tak
Kaun jeeta hai teri zulf ke sar hone tak
Meaning
O innocent heart what has happened? A sigh needs a lifetime to take effect.

Ishq mujhko nahin sahi woh jahaan sahi
Jung-e-ishq sahi jang-e-jaan sahi
Woh jo shak ho to khud ko jala de sahi
Ishq pe koi zarf ka imtihaan sahi
Meaning
If love is not for me then the world is. If it means war of love so be it.

Ye na thi hamari qismat ke wisaal-e-yaar hota
Agar aur jeete rehte yahi intezaar hota
Teri naazuki se jaana ke bande bayabaan hain
Teri galiyon ke hawaon ke bhi diwaar hain
Meaning
It was not my fate to meet the beloved. Had I lived longer this wait would continue.

Koi ummeed bar nahin aati
Koi soorat nazar nahin aati
Maut ka ek din muayyan hai
Neend kyon raat bhar nahin aati
Aage aati thi haal-e-dil pe hansi
Ab hai unki yaad kuch khar khar aati
Meaning
No hope remains. No way out is visible. Death is certain one day.
