When I plucked out my eyes and gave her
They say the moon shone for two days, brighter
*****************************************
Ghalib, when I gifted her glass bangles
her laughter sounded like it was tinkling
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the side alley, where the dirty water was flowing
there I found her couplet and loved it better than mine
It was full of anxiety that I would leave her
But when I kissed her in the dank, moonlit night
my kiss was better than her shayari, O Ghalib!

Ghalib & Koshy
Where the sea meets the shore
the sound of the breakers
two hearts breaking and beating
speaking of love
and poetry
but always remembering
one sweet face, weeping
this is so heart-breakingly beautiful.
