Ghalib on Heaven

Mirza Ghalib was the most well known poet of Punjab of his times. Living under orthodox Islam, he was known for his liberal views. A verse from his writings.

            "Hum ko maloom hai jannat ke haqeeeqat, lekin...
             Dil ke khush rakhnay ko,

             Ghalib, yeh khayal acha ha"

Translation        
            ‘I know the truth about heaven, but

             As for amusement of the heart, 

             O Ghalib, it's a useful idea.’
