One of my all time favourite ghazals:

Bhogale ze du:khkha tyaalaa sukha mhan'aave laagale
evad'he mii bhogale kii maza hasaave laagale.
T'hevale aajanma dol'e aapale mii korad'e
pan'a dujaanchyaa aasavaanii maza bhizaave laagale

Sorrow that I have borne, I have to call it joy;
So much have I suffered that all I can do is laugh now.
All my life, I kept my eyes dry
but I got drenched with the tears of others.

Dedication - A very close friend was in this situation a few days ago, but not now.
