Did you know that renowned poet Mirza Ghalib had seven children. But sadly none of them survived. This pain has found its way into his poetry.

Around 1810, he was married to a lady by the name of Umrao Begum.

Dukh Day Kar Sawaal Kartay ho,
Tum Bhe GHAALiB ! Kamaal Kartay ho..
Daikh Kar Pooch Liyaa haal meraa,
Chalo Kuch tou Khayaal Kartay ho..
Shehar -e- Dil may Ye Udaasiyaan Kaisi ??
Ye Bhe mujh say Sawaal Kartay ho ???
Marnaa Chaahain tou mar nahe Saktay,
tum Bhe Jeenaa muhaal Kartay ho..
ab Kiss Kiss Ki misaal Doon tum Ko ?
her Sitam Bay-misaal Kartay ho . . .
