Ghazal 11

You should have waited a little longer
you left alone so stay alone longer

We’ll meet you said the next day such as this
as if days like this occur more than once

You were for this house the moon of all skies
light of our evenings fallen from cycle

You hated me your wife was too distant
and you left before your children were grown

Fools they are who ask why Ghalib still lives
his fate is to live in hunger of death
