Why shouldn’t I hope………

The scorching heat of sun,

Burnt my face dark,

Quenching thirst of travelers,

I have lost my wells and parks.

I will get rid of this grimace,

When drops will get rid of this grimace

When drops will bring me solace

Just keeping my sorrows at bay

I want to hope, I want to hope.

Success is sweet for him

But the sweetest for me

For success believe me,

I could get down on my knee

For riches and comfort, is all that I do lack

I have got only patience and hard work in my sack

Darkness is going to grope,

For brightness and light

Then why shouldn’t I hope

For success and just fight.

Temples can wait for prayers

And country can do so for deeds

So why can’t wait for Krishna

So why can’t I proceed

Unspoken, undaunted, unbeaten,

I am going to hope.

And what is more, I will see it.

I will get that star in my life,

By being in my actions

As sharp as a knife.
