Where is the time which promised me to be so good?
Life is getting harder and dumping me deep into darkness of vain.
This whole world is broken into advanced jigsaw,
Which I have to solve solely in complete solitude.

Where is that hopeful brightness which promised me to brighten my world?
I'm walking at the never ending side pathway of my defeated life,
Can't find the main road let alone the highways or sixteen lanes.
No one is beside me to share my pain not ever my small laughs,
Which I'm not gifted with in reality.

Oh world! Don't tell me what I'm or what should I do.
Don't claim my little sorrows as the result of my misdeeds,
Those were mistakes but not my inheritance.

This cruel life of mine always promises me for good days,
So good to even change my unlikeable destiny.
And this is invitation enough for my breakdown,
I cried impatiently.
