1 Even
after so many years we are far away
To reach our goal; no
progress at all
Still, we rise and fall and often we fall
We have not started, we have not found our way
We felt puzzled and do not know where we stand
Years slid away fast like fine grains of sand
Our world-obsessed mind with stress and strain
Our worthless worries, our stamina drain.
2 We
are moving in circles; we come back
To the point from where our journey began;
We struggle here and there and lack vision and plan
Though we spent many
years, initiative we lack
Our words are high;
our minds, too weak to ransack
And choose the proper
means to track our progress
No change in our attitude; we transgress
The bounds of conscience; but like beasts we stray
Roaming aimlessly around against what we say.
3 What
our destiny will be, we do not know
Let us not fret about
what we will get
Though slow our progress,
let us not get upset
Though we may not rise
high, we get what we sow
Like glowworms flicker in
night with feeble glow
God guides our ways; let
us believe in His grace
He who leads millions of
stars in limitless space;
One step forward, God
will give you a gigantic leap
Worry not about future, too obscure and deep.
4 Though
our ways differ, our destination same
From different points our
journey we start
With different attitudes
and thoughts
In this vast creation we
are like toys in a game
Life’s sudden turns and
twists we should not blame
Vex not about our far
away uncertain ends
On earnest will and steps, our future depends
If you falter and too
many mistakes you make
To set right them, too many lives you
have to take.
