False Smile

My heart is too small to store so many sorrows It turns into sad songs when my heart overflows! My eyes are too small to store so many tears They fall down like monsoon rain I long for seers. My life seems too short to make it worthwhile I have to keep on my face a false smile. I am so poor no one wants to be my wife Oh my hopes are too few to lengthen my life.
