Ghalib's address...

Ballimaran ke mahalle ki wo pechida daleelon ki see galiyan
Saamne taal ke nukkad pe bateron ke posheede
Gud-gudaati hui paan pi peekon mein wo daad wo wah-wah
Chand darwaaze par latke huye boshida se kuch taat ke parde
Ek bakri ke mamiyaane ki awaaz
Aur dhoondhlaayi huyi shaam ke be-noor andhere
Aise deewaron se mooh jod kar chalte hain yahan
Chudi-waalan unke katri ke badi bee jaise
Apni boojhti hui aankhon se darwaaze tatole
Isee be-noor andheri see gali qaasim se
Ek tarteeb chiragon kee shuru hoti hai
Ek quran-e-sukhan ka safa khulta hai
Asadallah Khan Ghalib ka pata milta hai.
somewhere in the twisted lanes of Ballimaran
somewhere near the firewood collection
somewhere at the corner of the street you find many quails
somewhere you may find jute curtains on the door
somewhere you may find groggy night
somewhere you may find an elderly woman
somewhere you may find a market selling bangles
somewhere you may find clay lamps
somewhere you may find a leaf of gold with Quoranic poetry
that's the address of Ghalib...
Wishing you all a relaxed and happy Sunday...Dr Pendyala Pradeep.
