MIRZA GHALIB Quotes

Basa Dete Nahin Aur Dil Pe Hai Har Lahza Nigah;
Ji Mein Kahte Hein Ke Muft Haath Aaey, Tau Maal Achha Hai!

Translation
He has his eyes on my heart, but doesn't yield a kiss;
The stuff is good, he seems to think, if it comes gratis!
~ Mirza Ghalib

Agar Apna Kaha Tum Aap Hi Samjhe Tau Kya Samjhe;
Maza Kahne Ka Jab Hai, Ik Kahe Aur Doosre Samjhein;
Kalaam-e-Mir Samjhe, Aur Zabaan-e-Meerza Samjhe;
Magar Inn Ka Kaha, Ya Aap Samjhein Ya Khuda Samjhe!
~ Mirza Ghalib

Bahut Nikle Mere Armaan, Lekin Phir Bhe Kam Nikle!
