Hai Vahshat-e-tabi.at-e-ijad Yas-khez — Mirza Ghalib
है वहशत-ए-तबीअत-ए-ईजाद यास-खेज़
ये दर्द वो नहीं कि न पैदा करे कोई
— Mirza Ghalib
Meaning
The frenzy of an inventive mind generates despair, yet this pain is not something that one would not bring upon oneself.
Explanation
Ghalib captures the restless, inventive spirit of the creative soul, which inevitably ends up weaving its own despair. Yet, this ache is not an accidental sorrow one runs away from; it is an exquisite torment that a sensitive heart deliberately conjures and cherishes. To truly feel, think, and create, one must embrace this very pain as the essential fire of being.
