An Unequal Life

Early morning the thought arose
While looking at the migrating birds 
to go back to my homeland.
but why do I want to go ?
Leaving this beautiful attire
Removing the beautiful crown of riches from the head
Giving up ruling this world
Why is the heart playing that music again?
What unique song did the cuckoo sing
That made me leave the throne like so much dirt?
What unique song did the cuckoo sing
That the pangs of separation are stirred anew?
The heart is no longer in worldly matters
Men and women are watching with anxious eyes
The flowers strewn on the bed are feeling like thorns
As I lay awake the whole restless night
Why did I call the carter in the middle of the night?
Slowly I reached the shores of the present
Lonely banks, soft breeze
Slowly I reached those banks
I felt the bittersweet pangs
Why can’t I forget her?
My love is now a complete housewife
Buying milk and busy the whole day
The tears of separation have long since been wiped away
Then why awaken the pain again?
Then why early morning the thought arose
