Named Prince Siddhartha Gautama, the only son
To King Suddhadana and his Queen Mayadevi
Descendant to the throne to rule their Kingdom

Buddha believed unconditional happiness is a state of mind
And ever lasting peace to be achieved by deep meditation

In an isolated quiet place through prolonged concentration

Leaving me shocked and grieved to stay
Helpless, isolated, crying and dying on Earth
People consoled me about her sure rebirth
...

I didn't have any faith or unfaith; not also very keen
In the palmistry culture, but forced to believe in
Analyzing own life's facts and events that happened
Inscribed on palms, on which everybody to depend
...

Being alone, I cry for you day and night
Where are you, my dear, out of my sight?
You loved me, served me, and often you told
Feel no bored; so many around us are old
