Ghalib : Ghazal 3 ~

(Vo firaaq aur vo visaal kahaan)

Where are those meetings and those partings now?
Where are those days and nights, months and years now?

Who has time to fall in love nowadays,
Where's delight in gazing at the Beauty now?

That heart is gone, that mind is no more too,
Where is imagination's revelry now?

The tears of blood are hard to weep,
Where's the strength in heart and liver now?

Love's gambling house is out of reach,
Where are pennies in my pocket now?

I'm troubled by the concerns of the world,
Where do I fit into this pell-mell now?

All the powers, Ghalib, I've lost,
Where is in my elements harmony now?
