Ghalib

Hi All,

This sher is an all time hit. An oft quoted sher by Ghalib..

The sher is,

Unke dekhe se jo aa jati hai munh par raunak
Woh samajhte hai ki beemar ka haal achchha hai.


It is easy enough... no glossary.

Sher-E-Day....First

Hi All,

I am starting this blog, I don't know how much this is will be appreciated but lets see.

So, the customary first post has to be a sher by Ghalib, the greatest of them all.

The sher is:

Main aur un ki bazm se yun tashnakaam aaoon
gar maine ki thi tauba saaqi ko kya hua tha
- Ghalib

Bazm - Mehfil, Party
Tashnakaam - Thirsty
Saaqi - Bar Girl/The giver (God)

Here ghalib is telling "you know I can't remain thirsty (liquor) and if my vow is broken, it is not my fault but saaqi's who showed me the liquor".

Leave you comment

Enjoy
