ذکر میرا بہ بدی بھی، اُسے منظور نہیں

A couplet by Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib, with Roman Urdu and translations.

Princess and attendant in trompe l’oeil window, c. 1765

ذکر میرا بہ بدی بھی، اُسے منظور نہیںغیر کی بات بگڑ جائے تو کچھ دُور نہیں

She does not accept being reminded of me even with ill words:if the stranger's case is spoiled, it would be no wonder.

Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalibمرزا اسد اللہ خاں غالبؔ
