ye hum jo hijr mein diwar-o-dar ko dekhte hain

Mirza Ghalib

ye hum jo hijr mein diwar-o-dar ko dekhte hain

Mirza Ghalib

ye ham jo hijr meñ dīvār-o-dar ko dekhte haiñ

kabhī sabā ko kabhī nāma-bar ko dekhte haiñ

Separation makes me glance, at these my walls and gate

at times for the breeze, at times, for messenger I wait

vo aa.e ghar meñ hamāre ḳhudā qudrat hai

kabhī ham un ko kabhī apne ghar ko dekhte haiñ

that she has come to my home, is God's divinity

At times I look at her face, at times my home I see

nazar lage na kahīñ us ke dast-o-bāzū ko

ye log kyuuñ mire zaḳhm-e-jigar ko dekhte haiñ

the evil eye should'nt befall, her hands and arms I pray

why, at the wounds of my heart, do people stare today

tire javāhir-e-turf-e-kulah ko kyā dekheñ

ham auj-e-tāla-e-lāl-o-gohar ko dekhte haiñ

what do I see these jewels, encrusted on your head

fate of these pearls and rubies, I regard instead

ye hum jo hijr mein diwar-o-dar ko dekhte hain

kabhi saba ko kabhi nama-bar ko dekhte hain

Separation makes me glance, at these my walls and gate

at times for the breeze, at times, for messenger I wait

wo aae ghar mein hamare KHuda ki qudrat hai

kabhi hum un ko kabhi apne ghar ko dekhte hain

that she has come to my home, is God's divinity

At times I look at her face, at times my home I see

nazar lage na kahin us ke dast-o-bazu ko

ye log kyun mere zaKHm-e-jigar ko dekhte hain

the evil eye should'nt befall, her hands and arms I pray

why, at the wounds of my heart, do people stare today

tere jawahir-e-turf-e-kulah ko kya dekhen

hum auj-e-tala-e-lal-o-gohar ko dekhte hain

what do I see these jewels, encrusted on your head

fate of these pearls and rubies, I regard instead
