A long journey one-way
That moment is near,
Now what is life to understand,
Is it an illusion or a new dawn?
The soul is true, this is indestructible
Happiness is permanent liberation
Opportunity for all the strong, the brave
Without prejudice.

I earned a name without difficulty
I lived easily, almost until autumn fell
There is still some debt to pay,
How many promises are there in the mind.
Karma is called the path to liberation
But where do we go, what knowledge is there?
news-wrap-sec
Unsatisfied mind, weak body
Yet It is difficult to become bored.
Whatever was done, wherever it was abandoned
This is the earnings that remained,
You will be free now, my friend,
Understand the worldly calculations.

I considered ignorance as knowledge,
I considered the night as bright day,
Have all these days passed in vain, have I only created a play of discontent?
Development, development, development,
Calling the poor, deprived people,
We fed the opposing force.
I took a job, saying development, I left for that reason.
news-wrap-secI saw the Panchayat, asked for multi-party system, I was happy saying change,
I got the title of 'leader' on the streets of democracy, republic,
When development faded away again, I preferred to be a fugitive.
This is the time for the path of knowledge, but I do not know
news-wrap-secKarma or knowledge.
Now there is nothing
There is only the arbitrariness of time.
There is no worry about illness, nor is there any concern for the Surta family,
No sweat, no tears, no one from the abode of the Supreme!
Why are you afraid of death, holding onto the reins of the sacred belt,
news-wrap-secThis is the time to be free, let's rejoice now
Dear friend.
