Mirza Ghalib
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.

Mirza Ghalib
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.
