    Interesting Fact

    Film: Mirza Ghalib (1954)

    kabhī nekī bhī us ke meñ gar aa jaa.e hai mujh se

    jafā.eñ kar ke apnī yaad sharmā jaa.e hai mujh se

    when at times her heart, for me, is filled with piety

    she then feels mortified as she recalls her cruelty

    ḳhudāyā jazba-e-dil magar tāsīr ulTī hai

    ki jitnā khīñchtā huuñ aur khiñchtā jaa.e hai mujh se

    the outcome of my yearning Lord! is opposite although

    the closer that I seek to draw, the further does she go

    vo bad-ḳhū aur merī dāstān-e-ishq tūlānī

    ibārat muḳhtasar qāsid bhī ghabrā jaa.e hai mujh se

    she is short-tempered, impatient, and lengthy is my tale

    beseeching me to be brief, the messenger does quail

    udhar vo bad-gumānī hai idhar ye nā-tavānī hai

    na pūchhā jaa.e hai us se na bolā jaa.e hai mujh se

    there she is, mistrustful; here I am, frail and weak

    she will never care to ask; I will not dare to speak

    sambhalne de mujhe ai nā-ummīdī kyā qayāmat hai

    ki dāmān-e-ḳhayāl-e-yār chhūTā jaa.e hai mujh se

    Let me now compose myself, Despair-I beg of thee

    as fragments of my loved one's thoughts do escape from me

    takalluf bartaraf nazzārgī meñ bhī sahī lekin

    vo dekhā jaa.e kab ye zulm dekhā jaa.e hai mujh se

    though even as I gaze at her, formality aside,

    the torment that she's looked upon, I just cannot abide

    hue haiñ paañv pahle nabard-e-ishq meñ zaḳhmī

    na bhāgā jaa.e hai mujh se na Thahrā jaa.e hai mujh se

    at the outset, in love's strife, my feet are wounded, see

    no longer can I stand and wait, and nor can I now flee

    qayāmat hai ki hove mudda.ī ham-safar 'ġhālib'

    vo kāfir jo ḳhudā ko bhī na sauñpā jaa.e hai mujh se

    'tis doomsday, Gaalib, with my rival she chooses to fare

    that Heretic, who I would not place even in God's care

    kabhi neki bhi us ke ji mein gar aa jae hai mujh se

    jafaen kar ke apni yaad sharma jae hai mujh se

    when at times her heart, for me, is filled with piety

    she then feels mortified as she recalls her cruelty

    KHudaya jazba-e-dil ki magar tasir ulTi hai

    ki jitna khinchta hun aur khinchta jae hai mujh se

    the outcome of my yearning Lord! is opposite although

    the closer that I seek to draw, the further does she go

    wo bad-KHu aur meri dastan-e-ishq tulani

    ibarat muKHtasar qasid bhi ghabra jae hai mujh se

    she is short-tempered, impatient, and lengthy is my tale

    beseeching me to be brief, the messenger does quail

    udhar wo bad-gumani hai idhar ye na-tawani hai

    na puchha jae hai us se na bola jae hai mujh se

    there she is, mistrustful; here I am, frail and weak

    she will never care to ask; I will not dare to speak

    sambhalne de mujhe ai na-ummidi kya qayamat hai

    ki daman-e-KHayal-e-yar chhuTa jae hai mujh se

    Let me now compose myself, Despair-I beg of thee

    as fragments of my loved one's thoughts do escape from me

    takalluf bartaraf nazzargi mein bhi sahi lekin

    wo dekha jae kab ye zulm dekha jae hai mujh se

    though even as I gaze at her, formality aside,

    the torment that she's looked upon, I just cannot abide

    hue hain panw hi pahle nabard-e-ishq mein zaKHmi

    na bhaga jae hai mujh se na Thahra jae hai mujh se

    at the outset, in love's strife, my feet are wounded, see

    no longer can I stand and wait, and nor can I now flee

    qayamat hai ki howe muddai ka ham-safar 'ghaalib'

    wo kafir jo KHuda ko bhi na saunpa jae hai mujh se

    'tis doomsday, Gaalib, with my rival she chooses to fare

    that Heretic, who I would not place even in God's care
