before I sleep

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep." - Robert Frost

"Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude." - Alfred North Whitehead

...

... देखना मेरे सिर से आसमान उड़ गया है,
देखना आसमान के सिरे खुल गए हैं ज़मीं से ...
... देखना क्या हुआ है ये ज़मीं बह रही है
देखना पानियों में ज़मीं घुल रही है कहीं से ...
... आसमान बादलों पर करवटें ले रहा है
देखना आसमान ही बरसने लगे ना ज़मीं पे ...
... पांव रुकने लगे राह चलने लगी ...

गुलज़ार

All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow ...

... I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn, the more I learn
The more I cry, the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me ...

... All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
...

... t
hen I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try ...

- Nelly Furtado


Staring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
I was without hope or dream
Try to dull an inner scream ...

I'm gonna try in the future
not to live in the past
I guess that I was a dreamer
if I thought it could ever last ...

- MLTR

... कभी देखो मन नहीं जागे, पीछे पीछे सपनो के भागे
इक दिन सपनो का राही, चला जाए सपनो से आगे कहाँ ...

-
गुलज़ार

... In the sunlight that's where I'll be
In the moon night close your eyes, you will see me ...
... Child is born, true love is sworn, all the in-between
Well you walk on, walk on until the path is gone
Learning love is the only everything ...
