How eerie is this silent death,
When sighs of anguish are heard by Him,
And a soul travels from here to there,
And there ye bring in your memory,
A place where thy Lord took a vow,
Which was solely destined for thee?
And you know that how completely…;
You got trapped, in a self made trap,
When ye took a burden with so called fame,
By fear of which the mountains dispersed,
In tiny grains by His fear,
But ye O man! Are so brave,
By the choice of a task you took for a throng,
How unbearable it is for you,
For the arms are curved;
Out of air,
And so when there your soul shall return,
In peace and calm ye experienced never,
In the life you lead in brief sojourn!
