If the birds can’t fly so high
Why should I also sigh?
If the clouds can’t hide the sun
Why should I also run?
If the water doesn’t form ice
Why should I pay the price?
If the trees don’t provide the shade
Why should I also fade?
If the hills boast of their height
Why should I go and fight?
If the ocean loses its wave
Why should I go and save?
If the earth stops rotating
Why should I be repenting?
If the winds can’t blow
Why should I feel so low?
If the buds can’t sprout
Why should I live in draught?
If the clocks can’t tick
Why should I fall sick?
If the people forget to try
Why should I go and cry?
If the love can’t exist
Why should I go and resist?
If the hatred starts to dominate
Why should I challenge the fate?
Whatever is happening is not at all fake
Try to understand it, atleast for my sake
