Life starts as a child,

Who is tiny, small and mild;

Life starts as a child,

Who is tiny, small and mild;

Then he starts going to school…….

Carrying a heavy satchel,

To fulfil his parents rule,

Like a tortoise with its heavy shell;

Then he becomes a professional,

Running here and there for his company’s rousal;

Money is the only thing he needs…….

Money is the only thing in which he feeds;

Then comes his wedding…..

For which his parents have been waiting,

He becomes a proud father,

Of a son and a daughter;

When he reaches fifty years,

He retires;

As time proceeds,

He starts losing all his abilities;

He becomes old,

Shivering with cold;

He loses his tooth,

Unable to feed even on a fruit or a root,

As time runs,

His body loses all its functions;

His skin gets covered with wrinkles,

As if a star loses its twinkle;

His kidney fails,

He becomes deaf, unable to hear even the sounds of the rails;

He becomes bedridden,

Waiting for the God’s call to heaven;

Happy that he has done all his earthly chores,

He never gets up as he snores….
