I have let my tears flow,
I cannot conceal them for long.
The pain already caused that I suffer,
Has become unbearable;
I have borne it for a long time,
Ever since I became aware
Of the world, I belong.
I cannot get rid of that pain,
The pain of my being;
The relief I seek
Only my death can provide.
Must I pray for my death?
After all, death is the only truth.
In the life of all beings,
It is the one-time experience,
Impossible to avoid.
In the meantime,
Allow me to shed my tears,
They must flow from my eyes;
My eyes should not be dry.
