I am left with no hope at all, No possibility to reach my goal, The Day of my death is fixed, I am so very anxious that I can not sleep all night. Though I know the reward of obedience and worship, But I have no tendency for it. I am silent for a certain reason, Otherwise I can convince you with my words, Why I shouldn?t cry, For when I don?t, she asks about me, My heart is burning, though you cannot see the spot, But O my doctor, can?t you smell my heart burn? I have reached to a certain state, From where even I cannot find myself. I am dying (Waiting anxiously) for my death, I don?t know where the hell my death has gone. With what face you will go to Ka?ba, O! Ghalib, You should be ashamed of yourself while thinking to go there.
