This is one of the most popular ghazals of Mirza Ghalib which has been sung by a host of singers in their own styles during the past many decades. It's Hindi (Devanagari) transliteration is as under: ये न थी हमारी क़िस्मत, के विसाल-ए-यार होता (विसाल-ए-यार = प्रियतम से मिलन) अगर और जीते रहते यही इन्तिज़ार होता.... तेरे वादे पर जिये हम, तो यह जान, झूठ जाना कि ख़ुशी से मर न जाते, अगर ऐतबार होता.... (ऐतबार = विश्वास)
