ibn-e-mariyam hua kare koi

Mirza Ghalib

ibn-e-mariyam hua kare koi

Mirza Ghalib

ibn-e-mariyam huā kare koī

mere dukh davā kare koī

Let anyone the son of mary be

How will I know till I find remedy

shar' o aa.iin par madār sahī

aise qātil kyā kare koī

When sanctioned by laws of divinity

For such a killer what can one decree?

chaal jaise kaḌī kamān tiir

dil meñ aise ke kare koī

Like an arrow drawn her graceful gait

In this heart embedded directly

baat par vaañ zabān kaTtī hai

vo kaheñ aur sunā kare koī

My every word she contradicts alas

If I could, but, speak and she agree

bak rahā huuñ junūñ meñ kyā kyā kuchh

kuchh na samjhe ḳhudā kare koī

Lord I pray that no one comprehends

All that I rant and rave in ecstasy

na suno gar burā kahe koī

na kaho gar burā kare koī

If someone speaks ill pay no heed

Stay silent if behave they sinfully

rok lo gar ġhalat chale koī

baḳhsh do gar ḳhatā kare koī

Stop them if they step misguidedly

Forgive them if they act mistakenly

kaun hai jo nahīñ hai hājat-mand

kis hājat ravā kare koī

Is there anyone who's not in need?

Then to whom does one do charity?

kyā kiyā ḳhizr ne sikandar se

ab kise rahnumā kare koī

What did Khizr for Alexander do?

For guidance then who shall I go and see?

jab tavaqqo' uTh ga.ī 'ġhālib'

kyuuñ kisī gila kare koī

When no expectations remain

why complain of adversity?

ibn-e-mariyam hua kare koi

mere dukh ki dawa kare koi

Let anyone the son of mary be

How will I know till I find remedy

shar' o aain par madar sahi

aise qatil ka kya kare koi

When sanctioned by laws of divinity

For such a killer what can one decree?

chaal jaise kaDi kaman ka tir

dil mein aise ke ja kare koi

Like an arrow drawn her graceful gait

In this heart embedded directly

baat par wan zaban kaTti hai

wo kahen aur suna kare koi

My every word she contradicts alas

If I could, but, speak and she agree

bak raha hun junun mein kya kya kuchh

kuchh na samjhe KHuda kare koi

Lord I pray that no one comprehends

All that I rant and rave in ecstasy

na suno gar bura kahe koi

na kaho gar bura kare koi

If someone speaks ill pay no heed

Stay silent if behave they sinfully

rok lo gar ghalat chale koi

baKHsh do gar KHata kare koi

Stop them if they step misguidedly

Forgive them if they act mistakenly

kaun hai jo nahin hai hajat-mand

kis ki hajat rawa kare koi

Is there anyone who's not in need?

Then to whom does one do charity?

kya kiya KHizr ne sikandar se

ab kise rahnuma kare koi

What did Khizr for Alexander do?

For guidance then who shall I go and see?

jab tawaqqo' hi uTh gai 'ghaalib'

kyun kisi ka gila kare koi

When no expectations remain

why complain of adversity?
