#mirza ghalib poetry

[be-wajhah]

رات دن گردِش میں ہے سات آسماں

Round the clock, the seven skies keep revolving;

ہورہے گا کچھ نہ کچھ گھبرائیں کیا؟

Something or other is bound to happen, why be anxious?

[mehreenkhan]

mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jeene aur marne ka usi ko dekh kar jite hain jis kafir pe dam nikle

[noorjehan]

"tumne shayad galati se dhund liya tha mujhe,

tumhe talaash kisi aur ki thi"

[komal01]

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!

[his-heart-hymns]

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.

As Mirza Ghalib wrote;

koi virani si virani hai, dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aaya

“What kind of desolation there this be, Home comes to mind the desert when I see.”

[blogbyher]

When Ghalib said Ek judai ka wo lamha ke Jo marta hi nhi, log kehte the sabhi waqt guzar jaate hain.

When Kafka said The separation into two people is unbearable.

And When Faiz said Phir dekhe hain wo hijr ke tapte hue din bhi jab dil o jaan mei fagaa'n bhool gyi hai

A memory of someone who's gone echoes.

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 ~

*Credits go to rightful owners

[sunshiinnne]

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.

[sadaf-e-mohabbat]

These people really knew how to play with words so that it touches our heart -

Jaun Elia - "Humko yaaron ne bhi yaad na rakha, Jaun hum toh yaaron ke bhi yaar the."

Allama Iqbal - "Kaun rakhega yaad hume iss daur e khud garzi main Iqbal, haalat aisi hai ki logo ko khuda yaad nahi."

Mirza Ghalib - "Tum bhi Ghalib kamal karte ho, ummeedein insaano se laga kr shikaytein khuda se karte ho."

[be-wajhah]

ہم وہاں ہیں جہاں سے ہم کو بھی

I've reached that point in my life where;

کچھ ہماری خبر نہیں آتی

I hardly get any news of myself.

[limusss]

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”.

[noorjehan]

"dil mein iss qadar mohabbat hai unke liye, ke soye to khwaab unke aur jaage to khayal unke"

[komal01]

Nafrat se aaj tak mujhe koi haraa nahi saka;

Main jab bhi haara hoon, mohabbat se haara hoon!

[guhmshuda]

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"
