Ah! This is a stock

expression of classical Urdu poetry. Usually, it is the sigh of one lover pining for the other in separation, or even in a state of union where something is amiss. This selection brings to you this state of emotional stress. Enjoy your reading.

aah ko chāhiye ik umr asar hote tak

kaun jiitā hai tirī zulf ke sar hote tak

A prayer needs a lifetime, an answer to obtain

who can live until the time that you decide to deign

aah ko chahiye ek umr asar hote tak

kaun jita hai teri zulf ke sar hote tak

A prayer needs a lifetime, an answer to obtain

who can live until the time that you decide to deign

Mirza Ghalib

aah jo dil se nikālī jā.egī

kyā samajhte ho ki ḳhālī jā.egī

those sighs that emerge from this heart so fiiled with pain

do you truly think unanswered these will now remain?

aah jo dil se nikali jaegi

kya samajhte ho ki KHali jaegi

those sighs that emerge from this heart so fiiled with pain

do you truly think unanswered these will now remain?
