Mirza Ghalib Urdu Poetry Print – "Umeedein Insaan Se Laga Kar"
Elevate your space with this premium unframed wall art print featuring a soul-stirring portrait of Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib, the legendary master of Urdu poetry. The artwork captures Ghalib deep in contemplation at his writing desk—surrounded by inkpots, scattered manuscripts, and the nostalgic charm of a bygone literary era.
Beautifully overlaid in flowing Nastaliq calligraphy is one of his most profound and beloved couplets:
اُمیدیں انسان سے لگا کر شکوے خدا سے کرتے ہو
تم بھی غالب کمال کرتے ہو
Umeedein insaan se laga kar shikwe Khuda se karte ho
Tum bhi Ghalib kamaal karte ho
Translation:
“You pin your hopes on mortals, then complain to God —
Ghalib, you really are something else!”
This sher is classic Ghalib—wry, wise, and deeply human. It blends irony and introspection in a way that resonates across centuries, making it a perfect reminder of life’s contradictions and the poet’s timeless brilliance.
