ki wafa humse to ghair isko jafa kahte hain

Ghazal

Ki wafa humse to ghair isko jafa kahte hain

Mirza Ghalib

;

ki wafa hum se to ghair is ko jafa kahte hain
hoti aai hai ki achchhon ko bura kahte hain

When she's loyal to me others, carp cavil complain
To rant against what's good has been the world's refrain

aaj hum apni pareshani-e-KHatir un se
kahne jate to hain par dekhiye kya kahte hain

For sake of my afflictions I do go to her today
But when I get there let us see what I have to say

agle waqton ke hain ye log inhen kuchh na kaho
jo mai o naghma ko andoh-ruba kahte hain

These people are from other times nothing to them tell
They who think that wine and song can sorrows repel

dil mein aa jae hai hoti hai jo fursat ghash se
aur phir kaun se nale ko rasa kahte hain

She comes into my heart when I recover from my thrall
If not an answer to ones prayers what this can you then call

hai par-e-sarhad-e-idrak se apna masjud
qible ko ahl-e-nazar qibla-numa kahte hain

The one I bow to is beyond, what knowledge can see
The wise ones deem the qaaba merely to a compass be

pa-e-afgar pe jab se tujhe rahm aaya hai
KHar-e-rah ko tere hum mehr-e-giya kahte hain

Since you have shown kindness to my wounded feet
I am thankful to these thorns lying on the street

ek sharar dil mein hai us se koi ghabraega kya
aag matlub hai hum ko jo hawa kahte hain

In my heart there is a spark, why should it cause fright
I breathe to give it air as I hope it would ignite

dekhiye lati hai us shoKH ki naKHwat kya rang
us ki har baat pe hum nam-e-KHuda kahte hain

What colours will her mischievous pride today reveal
At everything she says I will to God's mercy appeal

'wahshat' o 'shefta' ab marsiya kahwen shayad
mar gaya 'ghaalib'-e-ashufta-nawa kahte hain

By vahshat and sheftaa,today, elegies may be read
That rambling Gaalib, we have heard, finally is dead
