Cool Dood Ghalib

This is one of the most striking ghazals Ghalib wrote, if not for anything else then for atleast for the amount of lover's blood involved.

Excerpts -


"ragoN meiN dauDte firne ke ham naheeN qaayal
jab aaNkh hee se na Tapka to fir lahoo kya hai ?"



"chipak raha hai badan par lahoo se pairaahan
hamaaree jeb ko ab haajat-e-rafoo kya hai ?"


[ pairaahan = shirt/robe/cloth, haajat = need/necessity, rafoo = mending/darning ]
