ہم کو معلوم ہے جنت کی حقیقت لیکن
دل کے خوش رکھنے کو غالبؔ یہ خیال اچھا ہے
हम को मालूम है जन्नत की हक़ीक़त
लेकिन
दिल के ख़ुश रखने को 'ग़ालिब' ये ख़याल अच्छा है
We know the reality of paradise,
but to keep the heart happy,
Ghalib, this thought is good.
This is a famous couplet by the Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib. It
means the poet expresses his skepticism about the existence of heaven, but also
acknowledges that it is a comforting idea for many people. He implies that he
is more interested in the truth than in false hopes.
This couplet is part of a longer ghazal, which is a form of
Urdu poetry that consists of rhyming couplets and a refrain. You can read the
whole ghazal. You can also find more couplets by Mirza Ghalib. He is considered
one of the greatest Urdu poets of all time, and his works are widely admired
for their depth, beauty, and wit.
