Poet Majaz' Urdu couplet on failure in love: O my friends, I have no sorrow though I have ruined myself


Who doesn't know Majaz?

The poet of romance and revolution was born in Rudauli town in Awadh [Uttar Pradesh].

In this couplet, Majaz says that, 'O my companions, you may any feeling about my fate, but I am least bothered about it and have no element of sadness about how I destroyed [ruined] myself'.

His real name was Asrar-ul-Haq and he attained such love that it is not even understandable in other countries that how poets and works, their lives, can evoke such passion, even after the poet has died, decades ago. 

Meri barbaadiyo.n ka ham-nasheeno! 
Tumhein kya, khud mujhe bhi gham nahi hai
