Before Saying Goodbye

Before saying goodbye, to this one life 
I wish to live it, fully alive!
No grudges in mind, hard feelings in heart
This is the way, I wish to survive

I want to realise all the wisdom,
I wish to acquire absolute freedom,
Bonds of all kinds and each thing that binds,
I will break it, I won't let it thrive 
This is the way, I wish to survive

To this game of loosing and game of gaining,
I should give some higher meaning,
Those who're seeking the hands and crying for help,
Let me attend their calling,
In such ocean of bliss I'm willing to dive,
This is the way, I wish to survive

When my soul will leave body,
I will be nobody
But my work will remain , 
in the heart of somebody
You may forget, the moments of mine, 
and one day you too may say goodbye !
I won't be here , my deeds will survive, 
In this universe, my words will be alive........
