A Translation

Translation of a sher which, I am sure, is wrongly attributed to Ghalib.

There is no dearth of idiots, o Ghalib,
they are all around you, o idiophile,
You look for them on the sidewalks,
only to find them riding in style.
You don't have enough to buy their services,
it is available on credit, so smile.

Those who know the original in Hindi will naturally enjoy it more.  It goes like this -

चू..यों की कमी नहीं है ग़ालिब
एक ढूंढो हज़ार मिलते हैं
पैदल ढूंढो सवार मिलते हैं
नकद ढूंढो उधार मिलते हैं।

😂😂😂😂
