ham ko ma.alūm hai jannat kī haqīqat lekin
dil ke ḳhush rakhne ko 'ġhālib' ye ḳhayāl achchhā hai
We are well aware of the actual reality regarding Paradise, but...
To keep the heart happy, Ghalib, this idea is quite good.
The poet expresses a witty skepticism regarding the religious promise of the afterlife. He implies that while he knows the 'truth' about Paradise (perhaps that it is metaphorical or non-existent), the concept itself serves a useful psychological purpose. It acts as a comforting illusion that allows people to find joy and endure life's hardships through hope.

ham aah bhī karte haiñ to ho jaate haiñ badnām
vo qatl bhī karte haiñ to charchā nahīñ hotā
I do suffer slander, when I merely sigh
she gets away with murder, no mention of it nigh
hum aah bhi karte hain to ho jate hain badnam
wo qatl bhi karte hain to charcha nahin hota
I do suffer slander, when I merely sigh
she gets away with murder, no mention of it nigh

ishq ne 'ġhālib' nikammā kar diyā
varna ham bhī aadmī the kaam ke
Ghalib, a worthless person, this love has made of me
otherwise a man of substance I once used to be
Love has rendered Ghalib completely useless and idle.
Otherwise, I too was a capable person of great worth.
The poet humorously yet sorrowfully confesses that the pursuit of love has consumed all his worldly potential. He reflects on his former self, claiming that before falling in love, he possessed great utility and capability, which has now been wasted away by his passion.
