Well, was just going through the tracks on my hard-disk, till my ears struck on this one by Ghalib:
देखिए पाते हैं उशाक़ बुतों से क्या फ़ैज़,
इक बराहमन ने कहा है के ये साल अच्छा है.
Though it is never a good thought to provide an "implementation" of such a great poetic work, it turns out to be something like this: "Let us see what abundance the lovers will get by praying to the idols, One brahmin has said that this year is good."
I have heard and read this couplet so many times, but it never struck me so deep before today.
