dekhee, zamaane kee yaaree,

WHAT SHOULD I CARRY TO MEET THE WORLD,

THERE’S NOTHING BESIDES THE TEAR NOW,


yaa phool hee, phool theh daaman me.n,
EITHER FLOWERS AND ONLY FLOWERS WERE IN THE LAP,

MEAN IS THE ENTIRE WORLD!

NASIR


Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship if feigning, most loving mere folly:
William Shakespeare in AS YOU LIKE IT.
