Mirza Ghalib's Poem-Dil Hi To Hai Na Sang-o-Khist

                    Dil Hi To Hai Na Sang-o-Khist
                    English- Heart it is, not a brick or stone 
Dil Hi To Hai Na Sang-o-Khist
Dard Se Bhar Na Aaye Kyon?
Royenge Hum Hazaar Baar
Koyee Hamein Sataye Kyon?
Dair Nahin, Haram Nahin,
Dar Nahin, Aastan Nahin
Baithe Hain Reh-Guzar Pe Hum
Gair Hamein Uthaye Kyon?
Jab Veh Jamaal-e-Dilfaroze
Surte-Mehre Neem-Roze
Aap Hi Ho Nazaar-Soze
Parde Mein Munh Chuppaye Kyon?
Dashne-e-Gamaz Jaan-Sitan
Naavke-Naaz Bepanah
Tera Hi Akse-Rukh Sahi,
Saame Tere Aaye Kyon?
Kaide-Hayat-O-Band-e-Gam,
Asl Mein Dono Ek Hain
Maut Se Pehlre Aadmi
Gum Se Nijaat Paye Kyon?
Husn Aur Us Pe Husn-e-Zun
Reh Gayee Bulhavas Ki Sharm
Apne Pe Etmad Hai,
Gair Ko Aazmaye Kyon?
Van Veh Garure-Izz-o-Naaz
Yan Yeh Hijabe-Paase-Vazan
Raah Mein Hum Milen Kahan
Bazm Mein Veh Bulaye Kyon?
Han Voh Nahin Khuda Parasat
Jaao Veh Bewafa Sahi
Jisko Ho Dino-Dil Aziz 

Mirza Ghalib's Poem-Na thaa kuchh to Khudaa thaa, kuchh na

                 
                    Na thaa kuchh to Khudaa thaa, kuchh na hotaa 
                    English- He was, when it was aught 
Na thaa kuchh to Khudaa thaa, kuchh na hotaa to Khudaa hotaa Duboyaa mujh ko hone ne, na hotaa mai.n to kyaa hotaa

huaa jab Gam se yuu.N behis to Gam kyaa sar ke kaTane kaa na hotaa gar judaa tan se to zaa.Nno.n par dharaa hotaa

huii muddat ke 'Ghalib' mar gayaa par yaad aataa hai
wo har ek baat pe kahanaa ke yuu.N hotaa to kyaa hotaa
 English Translation
He was, when it was aught
He would still be, even if it might have been naught Drowned I am in my ego
What would have happened if "I"  was not
Laden with distraught and feeling apathetic
do I have to worry about the head being severed If it did not severe from the body
The head would have simply reposed on the lap It has been ages that "Ghalib" died
Yet the memories linger on
His saying this on every occasion
If it was "like this" then what it would be! 


(Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib)
