Mirza Galib

“Mention of that fairy-faced one, and then my own tale

Zikr us pari-wash ka aur phir bayan apna

He became a rival, who was once my confidant

Ban gaya raqeeb aakhir tha jo raazdaan apna

Oh, how I drank in company of strangers, my friend

Ae woh ke khoob bahut peete the hum ghair mein yarab

Today, they have accepted my test at last

Aaj hi hua manzoor un ko imtihan apna”
