Har raat meri aankhein inhi sochon mein ghum ho jaati hain;
Ke mera maqsad-e-hayaat kya tha,
Aur mujhe thaka kin kaamon ne diya!

Today my mom was singing Mirza Ghalib's most famous ghazal, "yeh na thi humari qismat" (This was not our destiny). I said her "Let me record " and she replied "I won't let you record. I know you'll post it on your Tumblr and your friends will laugh at my voice." 😆After a lot of persuasion she finally agreed. Please ignore my strange voice, I have cold.😅
ye na thi humaari qismat ke wisaal-e-yaar hota agar aur jeete rehte yahi intezaar hota.
It was not my destiny that there would be a union with my beloved. If I had lived further on, there would have been this same waiting.
ye kaha ki dosti hai ke bane hain dost naaseh koi chaarasaaz hota, koi ghamgusaar hota
What kind of friendship is this, where the friends have now become advisors. If only there were some healer, if only there was some sympathizer.

They said
It hurts that it's so hard to decide whether to let go or be patient with them.
But Mirza Ghalib said,
Udney de inn parindon ko azaad fiza mein ghalib,
Jo tere apne honge vo laut aayenge kisi roz.

When Mirza Ghalib said:
“Dil-e-nadaan tujhe hua kya hai,
aakhir is dard ki dawa kya hai?”
And Jaun Elia wrote:
“Dil takleef mein hai aur,
takleef dene wala dil mein”.

وعدوں کی طرح، عشق بھی آدھا ہی رہا
ملاقاتیں کم رہی، انتظار زیادہ رہا ~
Waadon ki tarah, ishq bhi aadha rha
Mulaqatain kam rhi, intezar zyada rha ~

Folks 😭 my boyfriend just sent me three poems by Ghalib that he wrote himself in Urdu and it’s just too cute to see him make an effort to communicate with me. He always finds new ways to communicate and convey his feelings and honestly I am just too lucky to have him. I don’t think I could have ever had someone who adores me the way he does he’s just perfect ❤️

Remembering Mirza Ghalib on his death anniversary
Ishrat-e-qatra hai dariya mein fana ho jaana
Dard ka had se guzarna hai dawa ho jaana
"To be consumed by oceans is the droplet's ecstasy, when pain exceeds all bounds becomes, itself the remedy"

وہ میری روح کی چادر میں ایسا چھپ گیا ہے
کہ اگر وہ نکلے تو روح نکلے، روح نکلے تو وہ نکلے ~
Woh meri rooh ki chaadar mai aisa chhup gaya hai
K agar woh nikle tou rooh nikle, rooh nikle tou woh nikle ~

Ghalib poetry
Dil-e-naadaan tujhe huaa kya hai ?
Aakhir is dard kee dawa kya hai
O innocent heart, what happened to you
What is the cure for this pain, after all?
Hamko unse wafa ki hai ummeed
Jo naheen jaante wafa kya hai
I hope for faith from one
Who doesn’t know what it means to be faithful
Ham hain mushtaaq aur woh bezaar
Ya ilaahee ! Yeh maajra kya hai ?
I am anxious and eager, he is cold and displeased
Oh God, what is this mystery?
(you know you're fucked when you start relating to old urdu poetry)
