Starters Quotes

First day, first blog....
Wanted to start with some thing poetic, hence putting two of my favourites quotes by Mirza Ghalib

:1
Quote:
"Dil hee to hai na sang-o-khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyon?
royenge hum hazaar baar, koee hamein sataaye kyon?"
Meaning:
Heart it is, not a stone or brick Why shouldn't it feel the pain?
Let none tyrannize/torment this heart Or I shall cry and cry again....

:2
Quote:
"Haazaron kwaashen aisi ke har khwaish pe dam nikle,
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi dam nikle."
Meaning:
Thousands of desires, tantalizing one and all,
Many a wish have I realised; yet I yearn for more.
