I dreamed a lot about love, friendship and joy
I despised the greedy and selfish world around me
I liked my country but loved the foreigner who
Took things lightly and accepted to be liberal
I dreamed about grand success, but
Destiny was to face failure and humiliation
Till the ripe age of forty three- I had no child.
Still I long to meet virtuous people, funny people,
Gifted people and people who loved sport
There are black, white and brown people
And you don’t know who smiles at you
Though you are meeting for the first
So when that German tourist returned my smile
With so much radiance and friendship,
My worries were cast away and I felt
Myself to be a part of the world.
Money came moderately, not much fame,
A routine job and some land to plant saplings,
A wife who is strict, and there is no dearth of one thing,
Dreams , dreams, dreams and dreams.
Dream to go to other countries, dream to mingle
Well with others, live in those places like
We live here, create a lot of fun,
Adore girls and win their heart, smile always
And feel very much as part of the world.
Am I a part of the world, or will a day come when
Everyone will say I am an indispensable part?
