Left Behind For Sorrows

I try to run, run after joy

I try to embrace it, I try to gain it and try to win it

I run after it hurriedly with extreme want for it  

but it runs away from me, escapes from me 

I say wait “wait for me”, but it never halts

it moves on in its own ways

it serves happiness to all my thorns on my ways 

but never feels pity for me, never looks back.

I shout and scream, “Don’t leave me’’.

But still nobody bothers about me

everyone moves on along with their pleasures.

And I go on running and running.

I say have mercy my divine lord  

make me also the passenger of the ship of joy  

let me also be joyful “am I not your beloved creature ?”

Aren’t you pained for your daughter’s adversity and miseries?

Adversity is my fate , solitude is my destiny 

I am now fallen, I am thrashed away by joy

It disagrees to accept me and leaves my hand  

and thus, I am left behind for sorrows.
