Independent Sorrow

Independence gave me everything-
Green forest, crystal rivers, silent
Mountain, refreshment nature

Independence gave me enthrallment
Touch of the flying birds, sportive
Cattle, dreamy moonlit night and
The golden rising sun with a realistic day

Independence gave me my mother tongue,
Brave worthy honorable flag and nation,
With nationality it gives political sovereignty,
Religion expansion, social inter-relation and
Economic development

Independence gave everything that it to give
By taking away everything that to take away;
Independence didn't take away the sorrow in
the mind of the independent man and it can't 

O misery of life! who is your true buyer?
