Alone the way is very far
I cant walk single all the way ahead;
My burden weighs upon my breast
my life stresses my veins and bones
can you help me, Oh passerby?
My aged limbs sway aside
my single heart beats so fast
that I stumble each step with its racing retreat
my faltering looks fell upon frozen hearts
that don't shake at my greying sicks
tired am I, over tired and fatigued
pressures and pains pinch me apart
plaguing fears haunt me day in and day out
stretching days and crutching nights cripples my thoughts
Oh passerby, could you bear my soul
for just a pretty second
let me lie down asleep
forever in slumber caressed by the green grass blades.

I would like to translate this poem
heart breaking issue of India! the street people and economically very deprived individuals and elderly! why do you make me sad early morning?
