Poetry Collection
We all have heard of heaven and hell but we have not seen either of them. It occupies our imagination as it does the imagination of the poets. Poetry in all languages has constructed heaven and hell in their own ways but the Urdu poets have added yet another set of meanings to them. This selection brings some of them to you.

ham ko maalum hai jannat ki haqiqat lekin dil ke khush rakhne ko 'ghhalib' ye khayal achchha hai
the poet expresses a witty skepticism regarding the religious promise of the afterlife. he implies that while he knows the 'truth' about paradise (perhaps that it is metaphorical or non-existent), the concept itself serves a useful psychological purpose. it acts as a comforting illusion that allows people to find joy and endure life's hardships through hope.
ye jannat mubarak rahe zahidon ko ki main aap ka samna chahta huun
the speaker dismisses paradise as a reward meant for the pious who bargain for comfort. instead, he desires direct encounter with the divine—presence over prizes. the couplet contrasts transactional religiosity with bold, intimate longing. its emotional core is fearless selfhood that wants god, not merely god’s gifts.
main samajhta huun ki hai jannat o dozakh kya chiiz ek hai vasl tira ek hai furqat teri
jannat mili jhuton ko agar jhuut ke badle sachchon ko saza men hai jahannam bhi gavara
apni jannat mujhe dikhla na saka tu vaaiz kucha-e-yar men chal dekh le jannat meri
kahte hain jis ko jannat vo ik jhalak hai teri sab vaizon ki baaqi rangin-bayaniyan hain
meri jannat tiri nigah-e-karam mujh se phir jaae ye khuda na kare
vaiz-e-na-samajh piyen sharbat ham kahan khuld se bahalte hain
ham ko maalum hai jannat ki haqiqat lekin dil ke khush rakhne ko 'ghhalib' ye khayal achchha hai
