koī ummīd bar nahīñ aatī
koī ummīd bar nahīñ aatī koī sūrat nazar nahīñ aatī
maut kā ek din muayyan hai niind kyuuñ raat bhar nahīñ aatī
aage aatī thī hāl-e-dil pe hañsī ab kisī baat par nahīñ aatī
jāntā huuñ savāb-e-tā.at-o-zohd par tabī.at idhar nahīñ aatī
hai kuchh aisī hī baat jo chup huuñ varna kyā baat kar nahīñ aatī
kyuuñ na chīḳhūñ ki yaad karte haiñ merī āvāz gar nahīñ aatī
dāġh-e-dil gar nazar nahīñ aatā bū bhī ai chārā-gar nahīñ aatī
ham vahāñ haiñ jahāñ se ham ko bhī kuchh hamārī ḳhabar nahīñ aatī
marte haiñ aarzū meñ marne kī maut aatī hai par nahīñ aatī
kā'ba kis muñh se jāoge 'ġhālib' sharm tum ko magar nahīñ aatī
No hope seems to come true No way out is visible
A day for death is set Why can't I sleep all night?
I used to laugh at my heart's state Now, nothing makes me laugh
I know the benefits of worship and devotion But my heart isn't drawn to them
There's something that keeps me quiet Otherwise, why wouldn't I talk?
Why shouldn't I shout since they remember me If my voice doesn't reach them
If the heart's scar isn't seen The scent doesn't reach you, O healer
We are in a place from where Even we don't get our own news
We long to die Death comes but doesn't arrive
With what face will you go to the Kaaba, Ghalib? But you don't feel any shame
