ROZ EK SHER

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

Huii tavaqqo jinse khastagii kii daad paane kii,
vo humse bhii zyaadaa khastaa-e-tegh-e-sitam nikale.
-Ghalib

Those from whom I desired sympathy for my woes
turned out to be in an even more woeful state than I.

Sher contributed and translated by Sushant Agarwal
