Daily Dose 3/3/09 Poem by Mirza Ghalib

POEM BY MIRZA GHALIB 19TH CENTURY INDIAN SUFI URDU POET
The drop dies in the river


The drop dies in the river
of its joy
pain goes so far it cures itself

in the spring after the heavy rain the cloud
disappears
that was nothing but tears

in the spring the mirror turns green
holding a miracle
Change the shining wind

the rose led us to our eyes

let whatever is be open
