It is not praised if you are the only one to understand what you speak
interesting is the situation when you speak and the others understand.

More quotes by Ghalib

If what the eye sees does not rankle in the heart
Sweet is the flow of life in travel spent.

Do not discount my tears; eternal wisdom has decreed
That in this flowing stream the seven millstones all revolve.

Discoursing all the time with all,
yet acting far beyond all.

The prison of life and the bondage of grief are one and the same
Before the onset of death, why should man expect to be free of grief?

The happiness of the world is nothing for me
for my heart is left with no feeling besides blood.
