Life is temporary 

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(slightly different translation   than that given by my friend  Sri  Kunar  Rananathan) 

The name   given by   your parents  ,
Has changed    to “ corpse”
The new dress   that you liked  ,
Has changed   in to “ dry waste”
The wealth   that you struggled  to earn  ,
Has gone  to  your “inheritor”
Will  the   wife  who lived with you,
Come with you, now,
Your   body   which worked  very hard,
Has given up  its  “soul”  and lies there,
All those  who said “we will give our soul to you ”
Are standing   there  as “dumb”
Those    who  said  they   were   your relations,
Themselves  consider  as not    related to you “now “

In this world , you came  ,.
Nothing    is your own,
In the body given by Him,
Where exists   relation,
Oh   wayfarer   who  lived here for a while
