O’ Life! I gave you so much of my sweat and

blood but you’ve given me hardly anything 

If you want, you can search my blank hands

There is nothing  left  in these bare hands,

except for a few meaningless cursed lines…

Isn’t there anything left for me in your lap?

* 

I’ve seen so many human demigods here that

in front of whom the real God fades away

Oh God, why’ve you sent such a lacklusterless    

spring this time, with no greenery at all…

But my heart is too stubborn like a wilful child

Either it wants everything or nothing at all..!
