ना था कुछ तो खुदा था, कुछ ना होता तो खुदा होता
डुबोया मुझको होनी ने, न होता मैं तो क्या होता?

-मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब

Translation:
God was there when there was nothing, when there would be nothing God was there
I was sunk by luck, had I not been there what would have happened?

By Mirza Ghalib

जी में ही कुछ नहीं है हमारे वरना हम
सर जाए या रहे, ना रहें कहे बगैर

-मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब

Translation:
There is nothing in my heart, otherwise
I never remain without saying things out, without caring if my head is cut off!

-By Mirza Ghalib
