“Do Not Ask Your Children
“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”
— William Martin

Dancing Fairies (1866) - August Malmström
इन दिनों, दिल मेरा, मुझसे है कह रहा
तू ख्व़ाब सजा, तू जी ले ज़रा
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, कर ले तू भी मुहब्बत
बेरंग सी है बड़ी ज़िन्दगी कुछ रंग तो भरूँ
मैं अपनी तनहाई के वास्ते अब कुछ तो करूँ
जब मिले थोड़ी फुर्सत, मुझसे कर ले मुहब्बत
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, कर ले तू भी मुहब्बत
उसको छुपाकर मैं सबसे कभी ले चलूँ कहीं दूर
आँखों के प्यालों से पीता रहूँ उसके चेहरे का नूर
इस ज़माने से छुपकर, पूरी कर लूँ मैं हसरत
है तुझे भी इजाज़त, कर ले तू भी मुहब्बत
