Yes, take my umbrella. don't thank me,

नज़र मिली भी न थी और उनको देख लिया
ज़ुबान खुली भी न थी और बात भी कर ली

वोह जिनको प्यार है चांदी से , इश्क़ सोने से
वही कहेंगे कभी हमने खुदकुशी कर ली

Mile na phool to kanton se dosti kar li
Isi tarah se basar humne zindagi kar li

Nazar mili bhi na thi aur unko dekh liya
Zuban khuli bhi na thi aur baat bhi kar li

Woh jinko pyaar hai chaandi se, ishq sone se
Wohi kahenge kabhi humne kudkushi kar li

har rooh ka itminaan ban,
aadmi to tu paida ho hi gaya..

Jab ki tujh bin nahi koi maujuud,
phir ye hungaamaa, ae khudaa kya hai..
- Mirza Ghalib

The purpose of a fishtrap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten.
The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten.
The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten.
