Lived Life Like Ratan

Have you ever tried to light up the dark?
Or ever showed kindness from the heart?
What's the meaning of living a useless life?
Ego, anger, cruelty, greed—all are meaningless!

Feels like legacy had ended after your death,
A heartfelt goodbye and feelings beneath.
Have you ever tried to make a difference?
Are you worthy of your own existence?

Hats off Ratan! You lived life like Ratan!

Your friends are waiting for you to serve food!
But this time you didn't come back as always.
Asking where that man went, who was good!
Waiting! Waiting! Waiting! Time has gone by.

Hats off Ratan! You lived life like Ratan!

What living looks like? I must tell your story!
What believing looks like? I replied in your name!
All my questions, and you are all the answers!

You lived life like Ratan!

An inspiring, impactful, innovative life you had!
People or animals, all are allied with your thread.
Thank you for letting us know what life looks like!
Travel! Teach! Ups and downs! Like a hike.

Hats off Ratan! You lived life like Ratan!
