Remembering
DEATH ANNIVERSARY
Poet laureate of the Mughal Court and mentor of Bahadur Shah Zafar. His 'poetic' rivalry with Ghalib is well known.
laa.ī hayāt aa.e qazā le chalī chale
apnī ḳhushī na aa.e na apnī ḳhushī chale
I came as life had brought me, as death takes me I go
I came not of my own accord / nor of my own I go
lai hayat aae qaza le chali chale
apni KHushi na aae na apni KHushi chale
I came as life had brought me, as death takes me I go
I came not of my own accord / nor of my own I go
