Linguistics is a weird science, since the study of communication has to include a lot of the weird, weird ways we communicate. Nothing about speech, language or ideas is predictable, and it gets worse when you try to study the way it's changed over thousands of years and billions of people. Luckily, there are a lot of linguists who have a sense of humor about the whole thing. The people of the Facebook group Etymology Memes For Reconstructed Phonemes know that memes are a form of communicating ideas like any other, and so they've made some highly technical examples for study.

Ah, I am guessing someone had this translated. 😏

I noticed that the following lines were missing in the link I posted in this comment (here is a better one – https://bit.ly/2VG7uyJ). 🤣

मृतकों से पटी हुई भू है,
पहचान, इसमें कहाँ तू है

The lines talk about doing something that those who have real life time machines will easily be able to do. Especially the second line. It's something that might take time, but those who have time machines should have all the time they need. 😏

I could have added the next line from the poem too. "हम वहीं खुशी से खायेंगे…" 🤣🤣🤣
