Ghalib's Ghazal sung by M.S.Subbulakshmi

*

ishrat-e-qatra hai dariyā meñ fanā ho jaanā

dard kā had se guzarnā hai davā ho jaanā

to be consumed by oceans is the droplet's ecstasy

when pain exceeds all bounds becomes, itself the remedy

tujh se qismat meñ mirī sūrat-e-qufl-e-abjad

thā likhā baat ke bante hī judā ho jaanā

lock's shackle and body's akin, to meeting in our fate

as soon as everything aligns, we're bound to separate

dil huā kasmakash-e-chāra-e-zehmat meñ tamām

miT gayā ghisne meñ is uqde kā vā ho jaanā

the struggle to resolve its woes, my weakened heart unmade

in trying to undo the knot, it got completely frayed

ab jafā se bhī haiñ mahrūm ham allāh allāh

is qadar dushman-e-arbāb-e-vafā ho jaanā

now even from torture deprived, Lord mercy on me pray

her to become so hostile to her followers this way?

zo.af se girya mubaddal ba-dam-e-sard huā

bāvar aayā hameñ paanī kā havā ho jaanā

infirmity replaced my tears, with sighs full of despair

Twas only then that I believed, water can turn to air

dil se miTnā tirī añgusht-e-hinā.ī kā ḳhayāl

ho gayā gosht se nāḳhun kā judā ho jaanā

thoughts of your hennaed fingers to uproot from this mine heart

has now become a torture like, nails from one's flesh to part

hai mujhe abr-e-bahārī kā baras kar khulnā

rote rote ġham-e-furqat meñ fanā ho jaanā

if fragrance of the flower's not, desirous of your lane

why in the path of bounding breeze, like dust does it remain

gar nahīñ nik.hat-e-gul ko tire kūche kī havas

kyuuñ hai gard-e-rah-e-jaulān-e-sabā ho jaanā

as after springtime's shower is, the clearing of the sky

so, after parting's copious tears, it is for me to die

baḳhshe hai jalva-e-gul zauq-e-tamāshā 'ġhālib'

chashm ko chāhiye har rañg meñ vā ho jaanā

tā ki tujh par khule ejāz-e-havā-e-saiqal

dekh barsāt meñ sabz aa.ine kā ho jaanā
