Maine Maana Ke Kuch Nahi
Ghalib
Muft Haath Aaye Tu Bura
Kya Hai.
O simple
heart, what has befallen thee?
What reedy
can there be for thy pain?
We have
great longing for her, and she is disgusted with us;
O lord, what
is the matter?
I too have a
tongue in my mouth, and I wish to heaven
That thou
would’st ask me “what is thy desire?”
When nothing
exists in the world without thee,
Then O God,
what is all this tumult for?
Who are
these fairy-faces? And what are all
These amorous
winking’s, these blandishments and coquetry?
Why these ambergris-perfumed,
curling tresses?
What is this
antimony anointed glance?
From whence
comes this verdure and all these flowers?
What is the
cloud and what the air?
We expect
fidelity from one
Who does not
even know what fidelity is,
Yes “Do good
and good will be done to thee”;
What else is
the call of the dervish?
I offer my
life to thee; I do not know
What I prayer
for a blessing.
I admit the
worth of Ghalib is nothing---
But if you
get him gratis, then it’s not bad.
Yusuf Husain
