My Village

All the beauty of the village of mine, 
Now it has been destroyed. 

This when I came to know, 
I was sad to know. 

People became rich I find, 
They have been migrated to town. 

This when I came to know, 
I was sad to know. 

I heard no cry of a child, 
Over the whole streets of village of mine 

This when I came to know, 
I was sad to know. 

I found that green fields destroy now, 
Where spring was passed with great charm. 

This when I came to know, 
I was sad to know. 

I always weep in my sleep, 
whenever I see your beauty in my dream. 

This when I came to know, 
I was sad to know
