Mirza Asadullah Khan (Ghalib)-27-12-1797(Agra) To 15-02-1869 (Delhi)
Interpretation-Ghazal-83
If you are interested in the world, then cultivate an interest in lament and complaint as well,
The wealth of a house of chain is nothing else except complaint.
(A house of chain is a prison-house, he has called the world a prison-house. The sound of chain is called the laments of chain)
(The mention of chains is because of the madman of love.)
(Mad lovers like other mad man, are chained up anyway.)
