On Ghalib's Birthday

Today is Mirza Ghalib’s birthday. What a wonderful opportunity to bring together my favorite ghazal singer and my favorite shaayar!
Here is a small selection:
Koi ummeed bar nahin aati
Aage aati thi haale dil pe hansi
Ab kissi baat par nahin aati!
Hai kuch aisi hi baat jo chup hoon
Warna kya baat kar nahin aati!




Ibne Maryam hua kare koi

Mere dukh ki dawa kare koi!
Na suno gar bura kahe koi
Na kaho gar bura kare koi!

Mere humnafas mere humnawa
Mujhe dost ban ke dagha na de!
Main hoon darde ishq se jaanwalab
Mujhe zindagi ki dua na de!
