Interpretation-Ghazal-33

1.
When the world had not been born, then there was only the God, If the world of possibilities had not been engendered, then too there would have been only the God,
Thus, my existence, established as a separate body, and that other body, having taken shape ruined me. If I had not been born and did not exist, what would I have been,I would have been God.
(With what excellence he has given nonexistence priority over existence.)
(Can there be another example of so many meanings attained with so little effort.)

2.
When from the excess of grief my head became so senseless,then there is no point of grieving over cutting of such a head,
The loss of useless thing is no cause for regret,or it would have been constantly rested on the knees.
(Resting the head on the knees in grief is well known.)
(Since my head has been numbed into senselessness by intense grief,what grief or pain will it feel if cut off.)

3.
About every deed,whether it be a case of luxury,grief or trouble,Ghalib used to say "So what",
And used express contempt for it and consider it trifling.
(About everything he used to express longing,if it were so,then what pleasure there would be.)
