Ghalib- 72


Good news!, oh Gospel, that thy Passion now views
That net empty whose Paraclete is caged in ruse.
Thorn crowns, Roods' roots to water, soles scarlet rake
Or my liver's thirst for torment, thou varlet, slake




dām-e ḳhālī qafas-e murġh-e giriftār ke pās

jigar-e tishnah-e āzār tasallī nah huʾā
jū-e ḳhūñ ham ne bahāʾī bun-e har ḳhār ke pās
