Love is an uncontrollable fire, oGhalib! (Ghalib: Urdu poet. This is a

shair, or verse, from one of his'ghazals' -- a form of poetry in which

the poet often finds a way to includehis own name in the verse. The verse

is brilliant because 'gaalib' means'overcoming' or 'triumphant,' so the

line could literally read, 'No one hascontrol over love; it is a 'gaalib,' or

triumphant, fire)
