बे-दिमाग़ी शिकवा-संज-ए-रश्क-ए-हम-दीगर नहीं यार तेरा जाम-ए-मय ख़म्याज़ा मेरा आश्ना
— Mirza Ghalib
Meaning

My troubled state bears no grievance of mutual jealousy. O friend, the cup of wine is your companion, while the weary yawn is mine.

Explanation

Ghalib captures a profound, quiet acceptance of melancholy and emotional exhaustion here. He says his spirit is so utterly drained that it no longer even feels envy toward anyone else's happiness. While fortune grants you the brimming cup of wine and celebration, my constant companion is the weary yawn of deprivation—and I have grown completely at peace with this solitude.
