Caught in the snare of distress why
Does man live in this world?
This mystery I could not solve!
The lass of illusion makes us dance
We fall and rise and fall and get up
We end our life in false romance
Of bitterest grief we taste the cup.
Caught in the trap of false hopes why

Entraps us hardship’s hurricane
Nights of despair swallow us here
Our tears flow like a fountain.
Shaking by the jerks of deep sobs why

Plant of hope is crushed under heel
Earthquakes of worry shake our heart
This life is like a turning wheel
That begins to end and ends to start.
Breathing in between the Death’s jaws why
Does man laugh in this world?
This riddle I could not solve!
