Hazaaron khwahishein aisi

Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle,
Bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle.
– Mirza Ghalib

Hindi:
हज़ारों ख्वाहिशें ऐसी कि हर ख्वाहिश पे दम निकले,
बहुत निकले मेरे अरमान लेकिन फिर भी कम निकले।
– मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब

English Translation:
Thousands of desires, each one worth dying for,
Many of my dreams came true… yet still, they felt too few.
