Life On Sunday, October 7, 2007

मैंने क्या जिया,
मुझको जिन्दगी नें जिया |
बूंद बूंद कर पिया,
पीकर पथ पर खाली सा छोङ दिया |

– Dharmvir Bharti in ‘Suraj Ka Satvan Ghoda’

Rough Translation (alternate translations welcome)

Have I lived my life?
It was life that lived me.
It drained me drop by drop,
and left me by the wayside, empty.
