I could say the unsaid words
I could realize the unrealized fantacies
I could do the undone activities
I hope my soul will be in peace then.
"Hazaaron khwaishein aisi
ki har khwaish pe dum nikle
Bahut nikle mere armaan
lekin phir bhi kam nikle"
- Mirza Ghalib

Arre Wah!
aap kabse Mirza Ghalib padne lagey?
But dats one of my all time favourite couplets.. Not a very well done translation though!
English anyway cant do justice to Urdu!
I didnt intend to translate by the way. I wrote something I felt and then discovered that it is very close to what Ghalib has said.
aapke tashreef laane ka shukria.
