Yesterday my colleague Rohit was humming this sher
dil-e- nadaan tujhe hua kya hai
aakhir is dard ki dava kya hai
humko unse wafaa ki hai umeed
jo naheenn janate ki wafaa kya hai
-Ghalib
This is one of the most famous ones from Ghalib's pen. I have 3 questions ...
1. Should we expect(umeed) anything from love?
2. Is he accusing the lover without giving him/her a chance?
3. Is it any way gender specific?
ek kadam rakha tha, galat rahe shauk pe
zindagi tamaam umr humein dhoondhati rahi
-Do not the poet
This too is a good one. Again I have a question ...
1. Is there a path to redemption?

1. a sincere anxiety for the beloved

3. an ardent attitude of reverence
4. a complete understanding of the beloved.
