This was not our destiny that union with the beloved would take placeA
If we had kept on living longer then would have been kept waitingB

If I lived on your promise then know this that I knew it to be falseC
For would I not have died of happiness if I had had trust in itD
-
From your delicacy I knew that the vow had been bound looselyE
You could never have broken it if it had been firmF
-
Let someone ask my heart about your half drawn arrowG
Where would this anxiety pain have come from if it had gone through the liverH
-
What kind of friendship is this that friends have become AdvisorsI
If someone had been a healer if someone had been a sympathizerH
-
From the rock vein would drip that blood which would never have stoppedJ
If this which you are considering 'grief' this were just a sparkK
-
Although grief is life threatening how would we escape while there is a heartL

If there were not the grief of passion there would be the grief of livelihoodM

To whom might I say what it is the night of sadness is a bad disasterH
Why would I have minded dying if it took place one timeN

Since upon having died I became disgraced why were I not drowned in the oceanO
Neither a funeral procession would ever been formed nor would there anywhere be a tombP

Who can see him for that Oneness is uniqueQ
If there were even a whiff of twoness then somehow He would be two or fourR

These problems of mysticism this discourse of yours GhalibS
We would consider you a saint if you weren't a wine drinkerH
