    A famous opening #Couplet from #MirzaGhalib #Poetry

    ہزاروں خواہشیں ایسی کہ ہر خواہش پہ دم نکلے
    بہت نکلے مرے ارمان لیکن پھر بھی کم نکلے

    A thousand wishes—each one worth dying for.
    So many longings came forth, and still they felt like too few:
    desire outruns every satisfaction.
