Death
This has been done or this is to be done
This has been half-done or not to be done
He seldom minds, whether it is done
He will take you and you are done.
The acts of tomorrow, do it today
And those of afternoon, in forenoon
He never waits, to see you finish
He will take you and you are done.
Like a tiger bearing away
A sleeping deer, he snatches
Before plucking the flowers of your deeds
He will take you and you are done.
In prime age or in minor age
In old age or in young age
He never ever tarries for none
He will take you and you are done.
Whether you are weak, or you are strong
Whether you are brave, or you are timid
Whether you are idiotic, or learned
He will take you and you are done.
Every nights take you closer
The days will also do the same
Then he comes without notice
He will take you and you are done.
Nothing resist the messengers of death,
Except truth which devours untruth,
Live the life in truth and virtue
Achieve truth and fail the death.
