That low man seeks a little thing to do,
Sees it and does it:
This high man, with a great thing to pursue,
Dies ere he knows it.
That low man goes on adding one to one,
His hundred’s soon hit:
This high man, aiming at a million,
Misses by a unit.

—Robert Browning1

khoj rahaa hain wo manjil apnee
usko kyaa maalum
kee faaslein badh rahein hain har koshish mein
kal jo haasil thaa ab wo bhee naa rahaa.

"he is searching for his destination
but he does not know
that each attempt is making him further away from it,
now he does not even have, what he had yesterday"

"... there seems something else in life besides time,
something which may conveniently be called "value,"
something which is measured not by minutes or hours
but by intensity, so that when we look at our past it
does not stretch back evenly but piles up into a few
notable pinnacles, and when we look at the future it
seems sometimes a wall, sometimes a cloud, sometimes
a sun, but never a chronological chart [18]."

-- E. M. Forster (Structure of Novel)

"nemat naheen to taufiiq hee sahee
is mod se shuru ek naya sisila hoga "

If not a blessing then at least it is a divine opportunity,
this turn will mark beginning of a new era.

happened to listen this song, on country music radio... amazing :). Went and searched for lyrics on internet, it is a very popular song by George Strait..

I’ve been to church, I’ve read the book
I know he’s here but I don’t look
Near as often as I should .. yeah I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today

Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
She’s sleeping like a rock
My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks
She’s got my nose, she’s got her mamas eyes
My brand new baby girl
She’s a miracle
I saw God today
