ROZ EK SHER

हुई तवक़्क़ो जिनसे ख़स्तगी की दाद पाने की
वो हमसे भी ज़्यादा ख़स्ता-ए-तेग़े-सितम निकले
-ग़ालिब

hui tawaqqo jinse khastagii kii daad paane kii
vo humse bhii zyaadai khasta-e-tegh-e-sitam nikale
-Ghalib

Those, from whom I expected sympathy for my woes
Turned out to be in a far more woeful state than I
