Ghalib Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

Ye kambakht hichkiyan thamti kyun nahin;
Ye kis ke zehan mein aaker atak gaye hain hum.

Ishq ne Ghalib nikamma kar diya
warna hum bhi aadmee the; kaam ke..

Kitni Ajeeb Hai Nekiyon Ki Justuju GHALIB,
Namaz Bhi Jaldi Main Parte Hain...
Phir Se Gunah Karne K Liye !

Jab ke tujh bin naheen koi maujood
phir yeh hungaamaa-e- khuda kya hai..

Ishrat-e qatra hai dariya mein fana ho jana
dard ka hudd se guzarna hai dawa ho jana..

बात कम कीजिए, ज़हानत को छुपाते रहिये
अजनबी शहर है यह, दोस्त बनाते रहिये
दुश्मनी लाख सही, ख़त्म न कीजिए रिश्ता
दिल मिले या न मिले हाथ मिलाते रहिये
ये तो चेहरे का फ़क़त अक्स है तस्वीर नहीं
इस पे कुछ रंग अभी और चढाते रहिये
गम है आवारा अकेले मैं भटक जाता है
जिस जगह रहिये वहां मिलते मिलाते रहिये
जाने कब चाँद बिखर जाए घने जंगल मैं
अपने घर के दर-ओ-दीवार सजाते रहिये !!!
