phir kuchh ek dil ko be-qarari hai

Mirza Ghalib

phir kuchh ek dil ko be-qarari hai

Mirza Ghalib

phir kuchh ik dil ko be-qarārī hai

siina jūyā-e-zaḳhm-e-kārī hai

restless again this heart is found

my breast now seeks a deeper wound

phir jigar khodne lagā nāḳhun

āmad-e-fasl-e-lāla-kārī hai

'gain nails my liver lacerate

red tulips soon will be in spate

qibla-e-maqsad-e-nigāh-e-niyāz

phir vahī parda-e-amārī hai

towards the goal are eyes now keen

again the curtain is between

chashm dallāl-e-jins-e-rusvā.ī

dil ḳharīdār-e-zauq-e-ḳhvārī hai

eyes: broker of wares of disgrace

heart: buyer with zest to abase

vahī sad-rañg nāla-farsā.ī

vahī sad-gona ashk-bārī hai

'gain hundred hues of sad lament

and hundred fold are tears spent

dil havā-e-ḳhirām-e-nāz se phir

mahsharistān-e-be-qarārī hai

my heart in hope of graceful gait

is doomsday's ferment incarnate

jalva phir arz-e-nāz kartā hai

roz bāzār-e-jāñ-sipārī hai

'gain beauty's airs are on display

life is the price you pay today

phir usī bevafā pe marte haiñ

phir vahī zindagī hamārī hai

dying for that faithless one again

my life, the same, does then remain

phir khulā hai dar-e-adālat-e-nāz

garm-bāzār-e-faujdārī hai

doors of her court open again

her lover's lawsuits are amain

ho rahā hai jahān meñ andher

zulf phir sirishta-dārī hai

now darkness in this world does reign

her tresses rule here once again

phir diyā pāra-e-jigar ne savāl

ek fariyād o āh-o-zārī hai

heart's pieces file a claim once more

plaint and lament is here galore

phir hue haiñ gavāh-e-ishq talab

ashk-bārī hukm-jārī hai

love's witnesses are in demand

tears need be shed is the command

dil o mizhgāñ jo muqaddama thā

aaj phir us rū-bakārī hai

suit tween her lashes and my heart

will 'gain be heard today from start

be-ḳhudī be-sabab nahīñ 'ġhālib'

kuchh to hai jis parda-dārī hai

your stupor's not of cause devoid

there's something that want to hide

phir kuchh ek dil ko be-qarari hai

sina juya-e-zaKHm-e-kari hai

restless again this heart is found

my breast now seeks a deeper wound

phir jigar khodne laga naKHun

aamad-e-fasl-e-lala-kari hai

'gain nails my liver lacerate

red tulips soon will be in spate

qibla-e-maqsad-e-nigah-e-niyaz

phir wahi parda-e-amari hai

towards the goal are eyes now keen

again the curtain is between

chashm dallal-e-jins-e-ruswai

dil KHaridar-e-zauq-e-KHwari hai

eyes: broker of wares of disgrace

heart: buyer with zest to abase

wahi sad-rang nala-farsai

wahi sad-gona ashk-bari hai

'gain hundred hues of sad lament

and hundred fold are tears spent

dil hawa-e-KHiram-e-naz se phir

mahsharistan-e-be-qarari hai

my heart in hope of graceful gait

is doomsday's ferment incarnate

jalwa phir arz-e-naz karta hai

roz bazar-e-jaan-sipari hai

'gain beauty's airs are on display

life is the price you pay today

phir usi bewafa pe marte hain

phir wahi zindagi hamari hai

dying for that faithless one again

my life, the same, does then remain

phir khula hai dar-e-adalat-e-naz

garm-bazar-e-faujdari hai

doors of her court open again

her lover's lawsuits are amain

ho raha hai jahan mein andher

zulf ki phir sirishta-dari hai

now darkness in this world does reign

her tresses rule here once again

phir diya para-e-jigar ne sawal

ek fariyaad o aah-o-zari hai

heart's pieces file a claim once more

plaint and lament is here galore

phir hue hain gawah-e-ishq talab

ashk-bari ka hukm-jari hai

love's witnesses are in demand

tears need be shed is the command

dil o mizhgan ka jo muqaddama tha

aaj phir us ki ru-bakari hai

suit tween her lashes and my heart

will 'gain be heard today from start

be-KHudi be-sabab nahin 'ghaalib'

kuchh to hai jis ki parda-dari hai

your stupor's not of cause devoid

there's something that want to hide
