Hasti Apni Habab ki si hai by Askari Naqvi

'Hasti apni habab ki si hai' is one of the most well known ghazals of the Khuda e Sukhan Meer Taqi Meer. Meer migrated to Lucknow from Delhi in times of Navab Asif ud daula. The navab was shifting the capital of Awadh from Faizabad to Lucknow and was busy building the city while Meer arrives in Lucknow. Meer is known for his simplicity in language and with that he wrote one of the most profound poems ever written. Like the above, where he is in such a small meter, and with such simple language writes like a philosopher and a true lover.
