ROZ EK SHER

ये न थी हमारी क़िस्मत कि विसाले-यार होता
अगर और जीते रहते यही इन्तज़ार होता
-ग़ालिब

ye na thii hamaarii qismat ki visaale-yaar hotaa
agar aur jiite rehta yahii intazaar hotaa
-Ghalib

It was not fated that we would be able to meet
But had I lived longer, I would have cheerfully
waited all my life to meet you
