ज़हर मिलता ही नहीं मुझको सितमगर वर्ना
क्या क़सम है तेरे मिलने की कि खा भी न सकूँ
-ग़ालिब
zahar miltaa hii nahiin mujhko sitamgar varnaa
kyaa qasam ha tere milne kii ki khaa bhii na sakuun
-Ghalib
Oh cruel one, I cannot even take poison
bound as I am by your promise to meet me
Gloss:
The poet is so anguished by not being able to meet his
beloved, that he feels like consuming poison to end his
anguish. But because his beloved has promised to meet
him, he cannot even kill himself!
