kehte hain ke ghalib ka hai andaaz-e-bayaan aur
hazaaron kwahishain eisee ke har kwahish pe dam nikle
bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhee kam nikle
- Ghalib Mirza Asadullah Khan (1797 - 1869)

i was never gonna chew my toenails. fingernails, is a regular ;) :D
haha
im high and drunk right now. its a sunday, yay
lovely poem, ghalib is by far the best poet with all his poetry forms.
Thanks for sharing n do give us more of that!
fm, i don't think that anyone can capture the feelings,
color, and beauty of ghalibs poetry. english doesn't have the poetic capacity to absorb the richness of urdu.
kashmiri, yes, he created some extremely complex metaphysical, sad and romantic poems at the same time. really good indeed.
