Oh' my dear, the passers by,
I beg you all to listen a while.
I don't beg any food from you
Not even any money.
I beg you all for a little sleep only -
what I lost for years many.
I beg for a bit of peace also,
For which I am dying so long.
Yes, I beg a little sleep and peace
I beg you give me please.
I'll just sleep for a little while -
I Only will sleep with a peace.
I'm yearning, I'm beckoning
I'm praying and crying for them
But alas, they never come to me
Nor bothered a little even.
I searched for them since long back
But I couldn't get even a bit.
I'm begging now from door to door
With a hope to get a bit.
Can you now, by any means -
Give me a little please.
I'll just sleep for a little while -
I Only will sleep with a peace.
I didn't sleep for a long long time
Also I need a peace in my mind,
I beg a little sleep and peace
I beg you give me please.
I'll just sleep for a little while-
I only will sleep with a peace.

Begging not for alms, but for peace and rest! They are perhaps more vital for a man alive in body but dead in spirit! A heart rending plea! It leaves disturbing reverberations!
