Urdu shayari meiN tasavvur-e-Gham

The idea of sorrow has fascinated almost every single Urdu poet, be it the grief of unrequited love ( Gham-e-jaanaaN) or sorrow that arises from other circumstances (Gham-e-duniya). The sorrows of existence have no cure other than death, according to Ghalib:

Gham-e-hasti ka Asad kis se ho juz marg a'ilaaj  sham'a har rang meiN jalti hai seHer hone tak (the grief of existence has no cure save death, Asad/the candle of life burns in all hues till daybreak ) In the words of Meer Taqui Meer, there is no respite from sorrow: Gham raha jab tak ke dum meiN dum raha  dum ke jaane ka nihaayat Gham raha 

Hafeez Jullunduri says : zamaane bhar ke Gham, ya ik tera Gham yeh Gham hoga tau kitne Gham na honge (the griefs of the world or the sorrow you gave me this one sorrow outweighs so many others...) This concept of sorrow in traditional Urdu poetry will form the central idea of the talk.
