      hazaaron Khvaahishen aisii

      inSher o Sukhan
      0


      Mirza Ghalib

      1, hazaaron Khvaahishen aisii ki har Khvaahish pe dam nikale
      bahut nikale mere armaan lekin phir bhii kam nikale

      KHvaahish ख़्वाहिश خواہش = wish, request, inclination, will
      Dam = breath, life, vitality, moment
      Armaan अरमान ارمان = Desire

      (A thousand yearnings have I, each one to die for
      Many a desire have I fulfilled yet many more remain)

      koii is dil kaa haal kyaa jaane
      ek KHvaahish hazaar tah-KHaane*
      (*basements/ underground layers) #Shakeb Jalali

      jaane tab kyo.n suuraj kii Khvaahish karate hain log
      jab baarish mein sab diivaaren girane lagatii hain
      #Salim Kauser

      2. nikalnaa Khuld se Aadam kaa sunte aaye hain lekin
      bahut be-aabaru hokar tere kuuche se ham nikale

      KHuld ख़ुल्द خلد = paradise, heaven =
      be-aabaru=disgrace, dishonourable
      kuuchaa=street

      (Am familiar with stories of Adam’s expulsion from Paradise yet,
      Very dishonourable was my exit from your street)

      ham Khuld se nikal to gaye hain par ai Khuda
      itane se vaaqaye* kaa fasaanaa^ bahut huaa
      #Faraz

      *incident
      ^ story, tale, fiction

      3. muhabbat mein nahiin hai farq jeene aur marne kaa
      usii ko dekh kar jeete hain jis kaafir pe dam nikale

      farq फ़र्क़ فرق = difference,
      kafir = here beloved

      (In love the difference between life and death is blurred
      The sight of the same beloved gives me life, for whom I want to die)

      Khudaa ke vaaste pardaa na kaabe se uThaa zaalim
      Kahiin aisaa na ho yaa.N bhii vahii kaafir sanam nikale

      Not by Mirza Ghalib -- Few Couplets
      “If these verses are in the text, then they’re mine; and if they’re in the margins, then they’re not mine.”

      4. Kahaan maiKhaane ka daravaazaa ‘Ghalib’ aur kahaan vaaiz
      par itnaa jaanate hain kal vo jaataa thaa ke ham nikale

      maikhana मै-ख़ाने مے خانے = bar, tavern
      vaaiz واعظِ वाइज़ =here preacher ,but also adviser, religious wise man, learned man

      (The wine- house and the preacher are poles apart
      Yet I do know that he went in, as I came out (yesterday)

      Ghalib” buraa na maan jo vaaiz buraa kahe
      aisaa bhii koii hai ke sab achchhaa kahe.n jise

      yaad aa gayaa vo but^ mujhe huuron ke zikr se
      vaa.iz ke vaaz* se bhii meraa kaam chal gayaa
      #Ranjuur Aziimaabaadi

      ^beloved
      *sermon
