I’ve had good luck with Google.
Of course you must now reveal the other place you moderate.
It’s a URL. Non-translatable Web address. Enter at your own peril.
I think it’s just an aphorism. @ibstubro why do you think it is a URL? It looks like a poem or a quotation to me.
Here’s what I’ve been able to make of the first quotation (thanks to the clunkiness of Google translate):
”इंसान घर बदलता है। लिबास बदलता है। रिश्ते बदलता है। दोस्त बदलता है। फिर भी परेशान क्यों रहता है ? क्यों वो खुद को नहीं बदलता”
“Human home changes. Veneer changes. The relationship changes. Mate changes. Yet why is upset? Why not change ourselves”
Ah, here’s the whole thing:
इंसान घर बदलता है
इंसान लिबास बदलता है
इंसान रिश्ते बदलता है
इंसान दोस्त बदलता है
फिर भी वह परेशान क्यों रहता है?
क्यों वो ’खुद’ को नही बदलता
मिर्जा गालिब ने कहा है:
”उम्र भर गालिब
यही भूल करता रहा
धूल चेहरे पर थी और
आईना साफ करता रहा”
A man’s home changes
A man’s veneer changes
A man’s relationship changes
A man’s friends change
Yet he remains worried?
Why not change himself?
Mirza Ghalib has said:
“Throughout the ages, Ghalib
That’s been forgotten
There was dust on the face and
The mirror is clean”
Mirza Ghalib was a 19th century Urdu and Persian poet.
Thanks, that was a fun puzzle. :)
