In chiraa;Gaan-e divaalii , he has used a Persian i.zaafat on a Hindi word. The argument for the permissibility of this is that Divali is a proper name that cannot be translated.
In every limb of my body, fire has started. Just now one limb has burned; after it, in a new fire, another limb. In this way the body is giving a single spectacle. The way in Divali rows of lamps are lit-- first one row, then another row. Just this is the condition of my body.

On the nature of a chiraa;Gaa;N , see {5,5}.
The only real charm of this verse is the invocation of Divali . That surely earns it some 'fresh word' credit, at least in the Ghalibian context (it appears nowhere in the divan).
Compare {5,5}, in which the 'lamp-display' of the lover's self-consuming fire becomes not only a spectacle but almost a tourist attraction, with an 'operator'.
Asi:
Every limb of my body has become a spectacle-place for a single fresh burning, and every single limb is burning rank after rank, like the lamp-display of Divali. For this reason, there has come to be a single aspect of a spectacle-place.
