There is no end to Desires

Insaan kee chaahat hai ki udnay ko par milen 
Parinday sochtay hain ki rehnay ko ghar milen 
                                                         (unknown)

Insaan kee khwaahishon kee koyi intehaa nahin 
Do gaz zameen bhee chaahiye do gaz qafan  ke baad 
                                                     ' Ahmad Faraaz '

Angam galitam palitam mundam - dashan viheena jaatam tundam 
Vriddhoyaatee graheetva dandam - tadapi na munchati aasha pindam 

                                                    ' Aadi Shankaraachaarya'

Meaning: 

In the old age,
The body organs become weak - do not work properly
The hairless or grey-haired head - becomes pale – loses its radiance
The mouth becomes toothless
Help of a stick is needed to walk
But even then –
Hope, expectations and desires do not vanish.
