Some griefs cannot be carried in translation. In the face of a child’s death, it is poetry—in Urdu and Punjabi—that holds what prose cannot.

Ghalib’s libertine wit was not irreverence but method: paradox as a bridge to Wahdat al-Wujud, where art becomes the language of the ineffable.

The temple and the Kaaba, both mirrors that reflect the same desire;
a tired zeal carving out shelters for itself.

Modern illustration of 'The Hymn of the Pearl'
There are dangers in waves, in all those crocodiles with their jaws open.
The drop of water goes through many difficulties before it becomes a pearl.

THE WORLD IS NO MORE THAN THE BELOVED'S SINGLE FACE
By #MirzaGhalib, tr. #JaneHirshfield
The world is no more than the beloveds single face;
in the desire of the One to know its own beauty,
we exist.

This watercolor on paper painting by esteemed Pakistani artist Abdur Rahman Chughtai shows a scene from a poem by celebrated 19th century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib about a woman who continues to wait for her lover even after the light from the candle has extinguished. Golden moths are falling over the woman who is reclined in front of a doorway on a thin flat beneath mattress beneath a dark tall gold candle stand. The motif of burnt moths which went too close to fire often appears in Persian literature and paintings to symbolize the fragility of passionate love. Abdur Rehman Chughtai is a Pakistani painter who worked in Lahore around the time the city was still in the territory of British India. He established his original style by fusing different ways of expression including the tradition of Bengali School led by Abanindranath Tagore, Indian miniature painting, modern Japanese painting, and Art Nouveau. Using fluid colors and elegant lines which are the characteristics of the "wash technique" of Bengali School, he made a range of delicate poetic paintings of Hindu and Buddhist myths, historical figures in Islam, and Urdu and Persian poetry. He is considered to be "the first significant modern Muslim artist from Pakistan," and the "national artist of Pakistan." On Pakistan's independence day in 1951, he produced a set of 9 stamps, better known as 'Chughtai Art set'. At that time, this set was considered as the most beautiful stamps of the world. Poet Mirza Asadullah Beg Khan, commonly known as Mirza Ghalib, is widely regarded as one of the greatest poets in the Urdu language. He also produced a significant body of work in Persian. Ghalib's poetry often addresses existential struggle, sorrows, and socio-political disturbances, particularly the decline of the Mughal Empire. Even thought he spent most of his life in poverty, his work remains popular not only in the Indian subcontinent but also among the Hindustani diaspora around the world.

इश्क़ से तबीयत ने जीस्त का मज़ा पाया
दर्द की दवा पायी दर्द-ए-ला-दवा पाया
Love gave me the lust for living To ease my pain it gave me something for sure; It gave me such pain that nothing can cure.
