اصل شاعری

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

ترجمہ

Think of me when I'm not here anymore, Gone far away to a quiet place; When you can't hold my hand anymore, And I can't decide whether to leave or stay. Think of me when you no longer tell me every day About the future you planned for us: Just remember me; you know It will be too late to give advice or pray then. But if you forget me for a while And then remember, don't be upset: If darkness and decay leave A trace of the thoughts I once had, It's much better that you forget and smile Than remember and be sad.
