Khatoon (Miss/Lady) OP aapki khidmat main ek Ghalib ka shayr

mohabbat meñ nahīñ hai farq jiine aur marne kā
usī ko dekh kar jiite haiñ jis kāfir pe dam nikle

In love, there is no difference between living and dying
You live by looking at your lover for whom you are willing to die

Don't take kafir literally. It means lover here.

Another one.

Here Tavern is a place where they serve alcohol.

Ghalib used to drink. He is drawing contrast of a preacher entering a tavern (pub/bar) when Ghalib leaves.

Aah, that is a much simpler interpretation, thank you! Ghalib wrote in parables - open for interpretation!

He abla nari
Teri yahi kahani
Chhati mein doodh
Ankhon mein paani

Tera yahi hai afsana
Dimagh hai khali

I interpret this as: when someone filled with sorrow becomes so numb, that after a while one gets used to it and everything else seems like a breeze. Correct or not quite?

And MKC1, who reminds you of this?
