be-dar-o-dīvār sā ik ghar banāyā chāhiye
koī ham-sāya na ho aur pāsbāñ koī na ho
jalā hai jism jahāñ dil bhī jal gayā hogā
kuredte ho jo ab rākh justajū kyā hai
mohabbat meñ nahīñ hai farq jīne aur marne kā
usī ko dekh kar jīte haiñ jis kāfir pe dam nikle
क़ैद-ए-हयात-ओ-बंद-ए-ग़म, अस्ल में दोनों एक हैं
मौत से पहले आदमी ग़म से निजात पाए क्यूँ?
(The prison of life and the bondage of grief are one and the same
Before the onset of death, how can man expect to be free of grief?)
अजी चचा ग़ालिब का जन्मदिन है आज। आपको लगा हम भूल गए? लीजिए आप भी पढ़िए।

Google for him today and you will find all kinds of interesting articles and tweets. Ghalib has left a beautiful and indelible impression on us. Is there any other poet who is celebrated like this every year? If so I'd like to know about this other poet and read his/her work too.
