I don't wish success or riches in my life,
Not even willing to be great.
not eager to know my future,
Nor even dissatisfied with my fate...
...
There was a time,
when I used to be happy,
used to smile and see
the world around me.
...
Ah see! The sea is calm to-night,
Silent sky covered with moonlight
Sweet is this night-air,
Everything seems to be tranquil and fair.
...
Brooding over something with a long face,
Standing in a corner, looking for gone-days' trace;
He was waiting for his turn with a heavy heart,
Away from others, he was standing apart
...
The bright sun in the sky,
White-mountains standing so high
Flowing rivers and fruit laden trees
They all never teach us to prejudice
...

A Wish
I don't wish success or riches in my life,
Not even willing to be great.
not eager to know my future,
Nor even dissatisfied with my fate...
To be true,
It will be a great pleasure,
if I find you,
Waiting for me somewhere...
People may call you cruel,
I think they are fool.
You are humble and kind,
You favor the mankind...
Though you take away their lives,
but you put their misery to an end
you finish all the strife,
you have your way, your wend...
I know, very soon this road will end,
towards you, every minute I tend.
And that's my destiny, my fate
Till then I won't do anything but wait...
