5 reasons why you are Mirza Ghalib:

Aapko neend raat bhar nahi aati.

(maut ka ek din muayyan hai,niind kyu raat bhar nahi aati)

Har kisi se Wafa ki ummeed rakhte ho.

(ham ko un se wafa ki hai ummeed,jo nahi jante wafa kya hai)

Aapko ishq ne niqamma kar diya hai.

(ishq ne 'ghalib' nikamma kar diya varna ham bhi aadmi the kaam ke.)

Junoon mai kuch bhi bakte rehte ho.

(bak raha hu junoon me kya-kya,kuchh na samjhe khuda kare koi)

Sab se tawaqqo uth gayi hai.

(jab tavaqqo hi uth gayi 'ghalib',kyu kisi ka gila kare koi)

Read somewhere,

“Jab haasil hojaye tou khaak barabar; rizq bhi, ishq bhi, raqeeb bhi.”

and I have been witnessing this to a scary amount.

When Local Train sang:

Aaoge tum kabhi, meri jaa keh rahi, gayega ya sama, gayegi ye zameen

Badlega ye jahan, gayega asmaan, aaoge tum kabhi, meri jaa keh rahi

And Jaun Eliya replied:

"Tum jab aaogi to khoya hova paogi mujhe, meri tanhai mein khwabon ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin."

[maihonhassan]

I have no place to call a home

Hence aimlessly I ramble and roam,

The wild grass is my restful bed;

The sky above, a sheltering dome.

"Koi veerani si veerani hai, dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aaya."

Seeking you is not the same as having you:

“Tujhe paane ki koshish mein kuchh itna kho chuka hun main, ki tu mil bhi agar jaye to ab milne ka gham hoga.”

— Waseem Barelvi

In English we say;

“don’t make promises you can’t keep”

But in Urdu we say;

“ye soch kar koi ehd-e-wafa karo humse, hum aik waadein pe umrein guzaar dete hain”

My dear, you and I were created in chaos. May be in between forever and nothing, there’s a place for us. I won’t forget you and may be that’s the only forever the two of us will have together and Jamal Ehsani beautifully describes the pain in this couplet:

“ye gham nahin hai ki hum donon ek ho na sake, ye ranj hai ki koi darmiyaan mein bhi na tha.”
