Ghalib’s Verses
"Be type and simply call me whenever you wish
Mehrbaan ho ke bula lo mujhe, chaaho jis waqt
I am not the time that has passed and can't return
Main gaya waqt nahi hoon ke phir aabi na sakoon
I don't obtain poison from your oppressor, nor do I
Zahr milta hi nahi mujh ko sitamgar aur na
What sort of vow is it for meeting you which i simply cannot even take in?
Kya qasam hai tere milne ki jo khaa bhi na sakoon?"
