The name Mirza Ghalib doesn’t require any introduction. Poet, writer, Ghalib spends his entire life creating works that gratify souls, touches depths and leaves a greater impact on our minds. Ghalib, the eminent Urdu and Persian poet began composing poems at a tender age of 11. He knew that his work will be appreciated by the generations to come, and he could not be more accurate.

These quotes can instill emotions in the coldest of hearts, read on:
Aaina dekh apna sa munh le ke rah gaye
saahab ko dil na dene pe kitna guruur tha
Aaye hai be-kasi-e-ishq pe rona ‘Ghalib’
kis ke ghar jaayega sailaab-e-balaa mere baad
Aage aati thi haal-e-dil pe hansi
ab kisi baat par nahi aati
Aata hai daagh-e-hasrat-e-dil ka shumaar yaad
mujh se mire gunah ka hisaab ai khuda na maang
Aashiq hoon pe maashooq-farebi hai mira kaam
majnuun ko bura kahti hai laila mere aage
Ishq ne ‘Ghalib’ nikamma kar diya
Varna ham bhi aadmi the kaam ke
Ishq par zor nahi hai ye vo aatash ‘Ghalib’
ki lagaaye na lage aur bujhaaye na bane
Mohabbat mein nahi hai farq jeene aur marne ka
usi ko dekh kar jeete hain jis kafir pe dam nikle
Is saadgi pe kaun na mar jaaye ai khuda
ladte hain aur haath mein talwaar bhi nahi
Udhar vo bad-gumani hai idhar ye naa-tavaani hai
na poochha jaaye hai us se na bola jaaye hai mujh se
Un ke dekhe se jo aa jaati hai munh pe raunak
vo samajhte hain ki beemar ka haal achchha hai
Koi ummeed bar nahi aati
koi soorat nazar nahi aati
