                                Ghalib Urdu 12


Urdu:  Aek, aek qatray ka mujhay darna parha hisaab
          Khoon e jagar wadiyat e mizhgaan e yaar tha

English:=== Every drop of blood in my heart does belong
                  To her charming eyes and their lashes long
                                            -

Urdu:  Ab maen houn aur maatam e yak shehr e aarzoo
          Torha jo too nay aaina tamsaaldar tha

English:=== Her image I used to keep in my heart
                  But now with my heart she has taken it apart
                                              -

Urdu:  Galioun maen maeri na'ash ko khanchay phiro keh maen
          Jaandaada e hawa e ser e rehguzaar tha

English:=== Oh, I love it so much that if I could
                  I would ask to be buried in her neighborhood
                                                -

Urdu:  Mouj e saraab e dasht e wafa ka na pooch haal
          Her zarra misl e johar e taigh aabdaar tha

English:=== There isn't a desert without a mirage
                  And everywhere in love there's camouflage
                                                -

Urdu:  Kum jaantay thay hum bhee gham e ishq ko per ab
          Daekha toe kum huay pay gham e roazgaar tha

English:=== But about love, GHALIB, I shouldn't complain
                  Because life itself is full of pain
