1/6: samajhte

yaar bhi raah ki deewaar

samajhte hain mujhe

main samajhta tha

mere yaar samajhte hain mujhe

even my friends consider me

an obstruction in their path

i used to believe

my friends understood me

2/6: samajhte

koyi bhi ghar mein samajhta na tha

mere dukh sukh

ek ajnabi ki tarah

main khud apne ghar mein tha

no one in my home

understood my joys and sorrows

like a stranger, i lived

in my own home

3/6: samajhte

woh log bahut

khush-qismat thay

jo kaam ko

ishq samajhte thay

those are

most fortunate

who saw work

as their love

4/6: samajhte

be-diin hue imaan diya

ham ishq mein sab kuchh kho baiThe

aur jin ko samajhte the apna

vo aur kisi ke ho baiThe

moved my faith from god to my beloved

and in love i lost everything

but, who i thought would be mine

ended up being someone else’s

5/6: samajhte

ye masail-e tasawwuf

ye tera bayaan, ghalib

tujhe hum wali samajhte

jo na baada-khvaar hota

these mystical discussions

and your unique narration, ghalib,

we would have deemed you a saint

had you not been a drinker

woh log bahut
