Keep your aims as high as the blue sky
Do keep your feet firmly on ground
We never know when to pass away
Thus keep your luggage light weight
It’s very dark; beware of wise eyes
If you meet soul mate on path of life
Keep close also detachments of life
He will in no way come back to you
Though keep the lamps of hope alive
If you wish to surrender before him
Keep spirit of captivating him lively
Destination is far, the path is tricky
Carry precious memories with you
Kept you safe hidden in my heart
Keep it safe like pearl in a sea shell
My luggage!

My luggage is laid in empty room,
Secretly hidden are some wishes;
Relics of dreams lay safely there,
Some flowers hidden unwillingly;
Spirit kept searching for a friend—!
My pride strolled hither and thither;
But, scent of my soil didn’t ascend!
My pride dishonored in alien’s land;
A lamp of hope, lighted in eerie
Eyes, in murky, gloomy nights;
The body thawed like mud in water
Discoloring colors, in monsoon rain;
The door’s kept open for you——-
My luggage is laid in empty room!
