Ghazal

Zindagi Apni Jab Is Shakl Se Guzri Ghalib

ज़िंदगी अपनी जब इस शक्ल से गुज़री 'ग़ालिब'

Mirza Ghalib· Ghazal· 1 shers

This ghazal is a poignant reflection on deep existential despair, intense suffering, and the sheer hardship of life. With characteristic irony and sorrow, Ghalib laments a life so fraught with pain that it brings a profound sense of alienation, even testing the comfort of faith and divine presence.
