Ghazal

Dard minnat-kash-e-dawa na hua

Mirza Ghalib

;

dard minnat-kash-e-dawa na hua
main na achchha hua bura na hua

my pain did not seek favors from any opiate
I don't mind the fact that I did not recuperate

jama karte ho kyun raqibon ko
ek tamasha hua gila na hua

you collect my enemies, why in this manner? pray
a spectacle this is and not the way to remonstrate

hum kahan qismat aazmane jaen
tu hi jab KHanjar-azma na hua

even you refuse to test the sharpness of the blade
say where else do I then go, now for to test my fate

kitne shirin hain tere lab ki raqib
galiyan kha ke be-maza na hua

how sweet are your honeyed lips, that even though my foe
was abused by you, is not, in an unhappy state

hai KHabar garm un ke aane ki
aaj hi ghar mein boriya na hua

the news of her arrival, I hear at such a time
when my home is to be found unfurnished, desolate

kya wo namrud ki KHudai thi
bandagi mein mera bhala na hua

what divinity was it that Nimrod once proclaimed?
Worship was no use to me, it did not compensate

jaan di di hui usi ki thi
haq to yun hai ki haq ada na hua

though I gave my life for Him, 'twas His in any case
to speak the truth I couldn't repay my dues to Him to date

zaKHm gar dab gaya lahu na thama
kaam gar ruk gaya rawa na hua

if a wound is smothered then, blood's flow will not be stemmed
if a task is stopped half-way, it does not consummate

rahzani hai ki dil-sitani hai
le ke dil dil-sitan rawana hua

this is highway robbery this stealing of my heart
takes my heart and flees forthwith she doen't even wait

kuchh to paDhiye ki log kahte hain
aaj 'ghaalib' ghazal-sara na hua

do render a recitation, people start to say
why is Ghalib silent pray why does he not orate
