Famous Mirza Ghalib Quotes
Below are some of the Famous Mirza Ghalib Quotes –
The object of my worship lies beyond perceptions reach. For those who see, the Ka’ba is a compass, nothing more.In the deadly sweep Of every wave, A thousand dangers lie in wait.Oh, Lord, it is not the sins I have committed that I regret, but those which I have had no opportunity to commit.The world is no more than the Beloved’s face. And the desire of the One to know its own beauty, we exist.Love demands patience, desire is restless; What color shall I paint the heart, until you savage it? You shall not ignore me when the time comes, I know, but I may turn to dust before the news reaches you.The drop grows happy by losing itself in the river.For the raindrop, joy is in entering the river.Love knows no difference between life and death The one who gives you a reason to live is also the one who takes your breath awayLove cannot be seeded into someone. It is a fire that is difficult to kindle but once it takes on, it is equally difficult to extinguish.
