If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
I will complete my work that is still left to be done:
Writing that was left unfinished.
Reading that hasn’t been read, understanding that hasn’t been understood.
The scattered things that haven’t been collected/organized.
The Art that hasn’t been finished.
The words (points/issues) that weren’t understood.
The Attention that wasn’t paid.

लिखना जो रह गया
पढ़ना जो पढ़ा नहीं, समझना जो समझा नहीं
बिखरा जो समेटा नहीं
आर्ट जो पूरा किया नहीं
बातें जो समझी नहीं
ध्यान जो दिया नहीं
If the eyes didn’t blink, everything would be visible without obstruction.
If sleep hadn’t come to the eyes, the memory would have remained perfect.
If laziness hadn’t been in the eyes, even the scattered would have been collected.
If the eyes didn’t have to close, the changing buildings and the air wouldn’t disappear like that.
If there were no sleep at all, would we have turned dreams into reality?
अगर आँखों को झपकना न होता तो बिना ओझल हुए सब दिखता
अगर आँखों में नींद न आई होती तो याद बख़ूबी रहता
अगर आँखों में आलस न होता तो बिखरा हुआ भी सिमटा होता
अगर आँखों को बंद न होना तो बदलती इमारत और हवा को यूँ ग़ायब न होता
अगर नींद ही नहीं होती तो क्या सपनों को हक़ीक़त बनाया होता
