Tormenting one’s own self, or anyone else, is not an idea worth thinking about. But it also happens sometimes that one torments oneself out of frustration or pain that one may not put up with. This is a strange psychological state to be in. Poets have found it to be an experience worth writing about. We have collected some verses around this idea for you.

aakhiri bar aah kar li hai

akhiri baar aah kar li hai main ne khud se nibah kar li hai apne sar ik bala to leni thi main ne vo zulf apne sar li hai din bhala kis tarah guzaroge vasl ki shab bhi ab guzar li hai jan-nisaron pe vaar kya karna main ne bas haath men sipar li hai jo bhi mango udhar dunga main us gali men dukan kar li hai mera kashkol kab se khali tha main ne is men sharab bhar li hai aur to kuchh nahin kiya main ne apni halat tabah kar li hai shaikh aaya tha mohtasib ko liye main ne bhi un ki vo khabar li hai aakhiri bar aah kar li hai main ne khud se nibah kar li hai apne sar ek bala to leni thi main ne wo zulf apne sar li hai din bhala kis tarah guzaroge wasl ki shab bhi ab guzar li hai jaan-nisaron pe war kya karna main ne bas hath mein sipar li hai jo bhi mango udhaar dunga main us gali mein dukan kar li hai mera kashkol kab se khali tha main ne is mein sharab bhar li hai aur to kuchh nahin kiya main ne apni haalat tabah kar li hai shaikh aaya tha mohtasib ko liye main ne bhi un ki wo khabar li hai

kyun jal gaya na tab-e-rukh-e-yar dekh kar

kyuun jal gaya na tab-e-rukh-e-yar dekh kar jalta huun apni taqat-e-didar dekh kar why didn't i turn to ashes seeing her face so glowing, bright by envy now i am inflamed, at strength of my own sight atish-parast kahte hain ahl-e-jahan mujhe sargarm-e-nala-ha-e-sharar-bar dekh kar a worshipper of fire thus they all hold me to be watching me spout fiery sighs of sorrow zealously kya abru-e-ishq jahan aam ho jafa rukta huun tum ko be-sabab azar dekh kar what dignity in love would be, if torture's commonplace i hesitate, you when i see, dispensing it apace aata hai mere qatl ko par josh-e-rashk se marta huun us ke haath men talvar dekh kar she comes to slay me but it is, the heat of jealousy which kills me when i see she holds the blade caressingly sabit hua hai gardan-e-mina pe khun-e-khalq larze hai mauj-e-mai tiri raftar dekh kar the blood of innocents upon the flask's neck proved to be wine quivers when it sees you float, intoxicatingly va-hasrata ki yaar ne khincha sitam se haath ham ko haris-e-lazzat-e-azar dekh kar alas! that my beloved did from torture then refrain when she beheld me craving for deliciousness of pain bik jaate hain ham aap mata-e-sukhan ke saath lekin ayar-e-tabaa-e-kharidar dekh kar i can be sold alongside with my wares of poetry if taste the buyes does possess and sensibility zunnar bandh subha-e-sad-dana tod daal rah-rau chale hai raah ko hamvar dekh kar put on the holy thread and break the beaded rosary for travelers do take the path that smooth appears to be in ablon se paanv ke ghabra gaya tha main ji khush hua hai raah ko pur-khar dekh kar these blisters on my feet were cause of great concern to me but gladdened is my heart for thorns there in the path to see kya bad-guman hai mujh se ki aine men mire tuuti ka aks samjhe hai zangar dekh kar on peeping in my mirror how distrustful can she be thinks that the green patina is a parrot's effigy girni thi ham pe barq-e-tajalli na tuur par dete hain baada zarf-e-qadah-khvar dekh kar instead of falling on the mount, the bolt should have struck me for wine should be served as per the drinker's capacity sar phodna vo 'ghhalib'-e-shorida haal ka yaad aa gaya mujhe tiri divar dekh kar his busting of his head those days, in state of lunacy now when i see you wall it all comes back to memory kyun jal gaya na tab-e-rukh-e-yar dekh kar jalta hun apni taqat-e-didar dekh kar why didn't i turn to ashes seeing her face so glowing, bright by envy now i am inflamed, at strength of my own sight aatish-parast kahte hain ahl-e-jahan mujhe sargarm-e-nala-ha-e-sharar-bar dekh kar a worshipper of fire thus they all hold me to be watching me spout fiery sighs of sorrow zealously kya aabru-e-ishq jahan aam ho jafa rukta hun tum ko be-sabab aazar dekh kar what dignity in love would be, if torture's commonplace i hesitate, you when i see, dispensing it apace aata hai mere qatl ko par josh-e-rashk se marta hun us ke hath mein talwar dekh kar she comes to slay me but it is, the heat of jealousy which kills me when i see she holds the blade caressingly sabit hua hai gardan-e-mina pe khun-e-khalq larze hai mauj-e-mai teri raftar dekh kar the blood of innocents upon the flask's neck proved to be wine quivers when it sees you float, intoxicatingly wa-hasrata ki yar ne khincha sitam se hath hum ko haris-e-lazzat-e-azar dekh kar alas! that my beloved did from torture then refrain when she beheld me craving for deliciousness of pain bik jate hain hum aap mata-e-sukhan ke sath lekin ayar-e-taba-e-kharidar dekh kar i can be sold alongside with my wares of poetry if taste the buyes does possess and sensibility zunnar bandh subha-e-sad-dana tod dal rah-rau chale hai rah ko hamwar dekh kar put on the holy thread and break the beaded rosary for travelers do take the path that smooth appears to be in aablon se panw ke ghabra gaya tha main ji khush hua hai rah ko pur-khar dekh kar these blisters on my feet were cause of great concern to me but gladdened is my heart for thorns there in the path to see kya bad-guman hai mujh se ki aaine mein mere tuti ka aks samjhe hai zangar dekh kar on peeping in my mirror how distrustful can she be thinks that the green patina is a parrot's effigy girni thi hum pe barq-e-tajalli na tur par dete hain baada zarf-e-qadah-khwar dekh kar instead of falling on the mount, the bolt should have struck me for wine should be served as per the drinker's capacity sar phodna wo 'ghaalib'-e-shorida haal ka yaad aa gaya mujhe teri diwar dekh kar his busting of his head those days, in state of lunacy now when i see you wall it all comes back to memory

masnad-e-gham pe jach raha hun main

masnad-e-ghham pe jach raha huun main apna siina khurach raha huun main ai sagan-e-gurasna-e-ayyam juun ghhiza tum ko pach raha huun main andarun-e-hisar-e-khamoshi shor ki tarah mach raha huun main vaqt ka khun-e-raegan huun magar khushk lamhon men rach raha huun main khuun men tar-ba-tar raha mira naam har zamane ka sach raha huun main haal ye hai ki apni halat par ghhaur karne se bach raha huun main masnad-e-gham pe jach raha hun main apna sina khurach raha hun main ai sagan-e-gurasna-e-ayyam jun ghiza tum ko pach raha hun main andarun-e-hisar-e-khamoshi shor ki tarah mach raha hun main waqt ka khun-e-raegan hun magar khushk lamhon mein rach raha hun main khun mein tar-ba-tar raha mera nam har zamane ka sach raha hun main haal ye hai ki apni haalat par ghaur karne se bach raha hun main
