O My Life
O my life! Change thy colour not
O my life! Escort me just as I walk
Why do you abandon me every day?
Why my eyes don’t stop raining day after day?
O my life! Change thy colour not
Why do the improbabilities knock at my door every day?
Why do they unbolt the doors of their own dwelling?
Despair breathes in my breaths every moment
My heart houses the world of suspicion
O my life! Stop the speeding chariot of time
Why do you abandon me every day?
Why my eyes don’t stop raining every day?
What have I done to deserve this?
Why is my soul deprived of a profound bliss.?
O my life! Change thy colour not.
