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
