+Miscellaneous Couplets

+
+It's compelling beauty makes all men
+Enjoy the glory of the bloom;
+But the eye should take in every view,
+The brighter shades, the shades of gloom.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+Although love's pangs may fatal be,
+There can be no way out
+Without love too this heart would grieve
+For want of things to grieve about.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+To whom, alas, shall I complain
+If luck with me does not abide?
+"O, give me death" was all I sought,
+That blessing too I was denied.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+Ask me not why I am sad,
+What grief doth clutch my heart.
+My heart hath built me a prison-cell
+And raised grim walls of narrow truths,
+Of cramping loves and hates.
+It shuts in the horizon of my thought
+And clips my fancy's wings.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+Love has left me, O Ghalib, a good-for-nothing,
+Otherwise a useful man I was.
