And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

----from the song Time(The Dark Side of Moon) by Pink Floyd

खौफ ए दर्द ए दिल से, परहेज़ ए मुहब्बत
मानिंद ए ख़ुदकुशी आने से पहले मौत
---Rosen Dash

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!


----Rudyard Kipling

बहुत निकले मेरे अरमान लेकिन फिर भी कम निकले

And I know I will die
The in between is mine...

ग़म इस कदर बढ़े कि मैं घबरा के पी गया
इस दिल की बेबसी पे, तरस खा के पी गया!
ठुकरा रहा था मुझको बड़ी देर से जहाँ
मैं आज सब जहाँ को ठुकरा के पी गया!!

----Sahir Ludhiyanvi from the movie Pyaasa

Presence...!!

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

तुझे मोहब्बत करनी नहीं आती
मुझे मोहब्बत के सिवा कुछ नहीं आता

ज़िन्दगी गुज़ारने के दो ही रास्ते हैं ग़ालिब
एक तुझे नहीं आता एक मुझे नहीं आता.

नज़्म उलझी हुई है सीने में
मिसरे अटके हुए हैं होठों पर

लफ्ज़ काग़ज़ पर बैठते ही नहीं
उड़ते फिरते हैं तितलियों की तरह

कब से बैठा हूँ जानम
सादे काग़ज़ पे लिखके नाम तेरा

बस तेरा नाम ही मुकम्मल है
इससे बेहतर भी नज़्म क्या होगी

The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
