You yourself are not yours

You yourself are not yours

Why all this  sound  , why this show off

 

The name  so lovingly  kept by parents

Becomes  as Corpse

 

The dress that  we wore,

With great style becomes  “Useless”

 

The riches  that we earned ,

After  great strubble  goes to  the Heir

 

Does the  wife  who lived with you

Die   along with you

 

Your active  able body ,

Lies there  leaving the soul

 

All those  who said, I will give,

Even my soul to you ”  are standing there dumb

 

That which    you called as your own

Does not belong to you now

 

In this world  , to which you came,

In the body  which He has given

What is  your own,

Oh stranger   who carried it till now.
