My Final Words
This creativity was like stirring living embers when at seventy-five I tried to remember
My life and living were all full of flavour from my village to my present chamber
For many my words may seem just ashes but to me they’re burning coal
I have lived this presentable life myself each day and thus spoke my soul
Now a deadly chill comes over me as the last days of life loom before me
A thousand hearts lay bleeding on the pavement of this memorial yard you see
The hearts that were bubbling with joy and peace with fond memories
Now they are weeping and lamenting all the present with many worries
The pigeons and the birds that were singing the song of love with pleasure
They are swinging on the branches of dry trees because they have lost a treasure
This short life is now wasted after the bitter taste of her sudden departure
My head and heart are now almost splitting with this unbearable torture
Like a gentleman of doom I am strolling out without any pleasure
I am desperately looking for my pretty lotus and her heavenly composure.
My Pretty Lotus- My Beauty Queen
What a pretty face, what shining eyes, romance is spilling from those lovely eyes my love
God Almighty must have worked overtime to construct your beautiful structure my love
The night comes when your sight descends and it becomes morn when it opens again my love
When you display your mystic smile, flowers bloom and the fairies feel ashamed upon your beauty my love
Your lovely curly hair and your sweet smelling breadth are making me your lover for ever my love
Your peacock like melodious voice and your honey-coated words are mesmerizing me my love
I feel like staying next to you forever, keep admiring that pretty face, and attire my love
There are many pretty faces but none come as close as you in charm and beauty my love
Your colourful presentation and your tantalizing construction give me the greatest of love
The queen of beauty, resembling the prettiest fairy, you are all that I imagined in you I found my love
Just keep looking at me so that I get your charm and glory ingrained in my heart and soul my love
On your one loving gesture, I could be introxicated with romantic influence for my entire life my love.
My Last Prayer
O God, do not hold your miracles any more for me
Make my heart of gold and let peace be with me
While I stumble among the difficult paths of this world
Grant me the solace of some guiding star that is very bold
You know that for every evil there is a remedy to be found
Let me seek till I find it but I do not mind if it is not found
I know some things I must learn to do in my loneliness
Let me think clearly without confusion to get rid of wilderness
Let me love my fellow beings sincerely with motives that are pure
Let me increase my trust in You to make my life all secure.
If I know not, and know not that I know not, I am a fool, please shun me
If I know not, and I know that I know not, I am a child, please teach me
If I know, and I know not that I know, I am asleep, please wake me
If I know, and know that I know, I am wise, so let others follow me.
