hastī hai na kuchh adam hai 'ġhālib'
āḳhir tū kyā hai ai nahīñ hai
if being and nothingness are naught
what is? then tell me O "is not"
Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
Ghalib questions the very ground of reality: neither existence feels solid nor does non-existence offer a clear answer. Addressing “nothingness” as if it were a presence, he exposes a paradox where both states slip from grasp. The emotional core is bewilderment and philosophical unease—an anxious search for what, if anything, truly is.
