See the Light

To see the light
You must brave the night.

To make your life bright,
And banish your fright.

A famous opening #Couplet from #MirzaGhalib #Poetry

ہزاروں خواہشیں ایسی کہ ہر خواہش پہ دم نکلے
بہت نکلے مرے ارمان لیکن پھر بھی کم نکلے

A thousand wishes—each one worth dying for.
So many longings came forth, and still they felt like too few:
desire outruns every satisfaction.

These people are this, or these people are that: No.
Sweeping statements will eventually always be wrong.
I worked service jobs too.
You get all kinds of people, having all kinds of days.
They grow all kinds of coping tricks, reinforced in all kinds of ways.

[wait, is this dtaoism?]
