कि ख़ुशी से मर ना जाते

About this quote
A couplet from Mirza Ghalib’s celebrated ghazal Ye na thi hamari qismat: ‘If I lived on your promise, know that I knew it to be false — for would I not have died of joy, had I truly believed it?’ Ghalib (1797–1869) is the supreme poet of the Urdu ghazal, writing in the twilight of Mughal Delhi.
