ROZ EK SHER

Dedicated to Mir Taqi Mir, my favourite Urdu poet

रेख़्ते के तुम्हीं उस्ताद नहीं हो ग़ालिब
कहते हैं अगले ज़माने में कोई मीर भी था
-ग़ालिब

rekhte ke tumhii ustaad nahiin ho Ghalib
kahte hain agle zamaane mein koii Mir bhii thaa
-Ghalib

You are not the only master of Urdu, o Ghalib
In an earlier era they say that Mir was supreme

English adaptation by Manish Modi
