A Ghazal by the great Urdu poet of all times: Mirza Ghalib! Declamed by Rājā. ---------------------------------------- 1. dil hee to hai na sang-o-KHisht dard se bhar na aaye kyoN ? royeNge ham hazaar baar, koee hameiN sataaye kyoN ? Heart it is, not a brick or stone Why shouldn't it feel the pain? Let none tyrannize this heart Or I shall cry again and again 2. dair naheeN, haram naheeN, dar naheeN, aastaaN naheeN baiTHe haiN rehguzar pe ham, GHair hameiN uTHaaye kyoN ? Neither the temple, nor the mosque Nor on someone's door or porch I await on the path where He will tread Why others should compel me to go? 3. jab woh jamaal-e-dil_faroz, soorat-e-meher-e-neem_roz aap hee ho nazzaara_soz, parde meiN muNh chupaaye kyoN ? The illumined grace that lights up the heart And glows like the midday sun That Self that annihilates all sights When then it hides in the mysterious net? 4.dashna-e-GHamza jaaN_sitaaN, naawak-e-naaz be_panaah tera hee aks-e-ruKH sahee, saamne tere aaye kyoN ? The amorous glance is the deadly dagger And the arrows of emotions are fatal Your image may be equally powerful Why should it appear before you? 5. qaid-e-hayaat-o-band-e-GHam asl meiN dono ek haiN maut se pehle aadmee GHam se nijaat paaye kyoN ? The rules of life and bonds of sorrow In reality are the one manifestation Before realizing the ultimate truth How can then one attain liberation? 6.husn aur uspe husn_zan rah gayee bulhawas ki sharm apne pe 'eitmaad hai, GHair ko aazmaaye kyoN ? Love is laden with noble thoughts Yet what remains is the carnal shame Trust conscience the still little voice Why do you want test the rival? 7.waaN wo GHuroor-e-iz'z-o-naaz yaaN yeh hijaab-e-paas-e-waz'a raah meiN ham mile kahaaN, bazm meiN wo bulaaye kyoN ? There the pride of modesty resides Here dwells the social morality How shall we meet, on which road Why should he invite me to the abode? 8.haaN wo naheeN KHuda_parast, jaao wo be_wafa sahee jisko ho deen-o-dil 'azeez, uskee galee meiN jaaye kyoN ? True he is an atheist Unfaithful and unchaste Dear to who is faith and heart Why should he then venture there? 9.'GHalib'-e-KHasta ke baGHair kaun se kaam band haiN ? roiye zaar-zaar kya, keejiye haay-haay kyoN ? Without the wretched "Ghalib" Has any activity come to a halt? What then is the need to cry? What then is the need to brood? Mirza Ghalib - مرزا غالب Video by Rājā.
