The nightly ghalib read, and another gem- which, I must admit, didnt quite hit me the first time I read it..

nazar lage na kahii.n uske dast-o-baazuu ko
ye log kiouN mere zaKhm-e-jigar ko dekhte hai.n

hum kahan ke daana the, kis hunar me yakta thai
besabab hua ghalib dushman aasman apna

One of Ghalib’s more playful verses:

na thaa kuchh to Khudaa thaa, kuchh na hotaa to Khudaa hotaa
Duboyaa mujh ko hone ne, na hotaa mai.n to kyaa hotaa

-Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib
