Existence

Na tha kuch to Khuda tha na hota kuch to Khuda hota....
Duboya mujhko hone ne, naa hota main to kya hota....
[Ghalib]

This is what one starts thinking when he is filled with dismay or when he feels that his life is completely empty. The very reason of his existence! What difference does his existence make? Ghalib again describes it in simple words. Really awesome!

Life

Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ki har khwahish pe dum nikle..
Bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle....
[Ghalib]

Myriad and yet each solitary wish
One that I could die for
Unnumbered the desires I possessed
Innumerable those I yearn for.

It is a very subtle fact about life... Ghalib explains it so easily!!! The greatest shayar of all time....
