I aspire to see in a thousand eyes <br />Raging flames of the blazing sun <br />To overcome the horrifying ordeal <br />Waiting at the hazardous crossroads of time <br /> <br />I aspire to hear on a thousand lips <br />Words sharp as steel <br />To signal the close of winter <br />And to herald the coming of spring<br /><br />Syed Ahmed Shah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-aspire-translated-from-an-assamese-song-by-dr-nirmalprabha-bordoloi/
