Once I had nothing in my mind,
Loaf about in the knowledge ocean as an idiot;
Nothing paid nothing gained,
Silent and emotionless time passed.
Once I felt puzzled in my heart,
How could I be intelligent of that kind;
Rush and fumble as the blind,
Thorns and traps drowned me every part.
Every step I took with fear,
Suffering came along with all despair;
Rarely could I free myself,
Cowering and sorrow filled my life,
Anybody comes up with any care?
One day God lit for me a star,
Which led me forge towards your side;
Dim or clear, near or far,
From the darkness I just fled.
Bright and brilliant from then on,
It was confident that I felt;
Talent and learning sprung up soon,
No more roadblocks at my feet.
Today I am trying to express my gratitude,
Only to find myself at a loss of word;
How could I have overcome such difficulty,
If I had not you as my company.
Garlands and claps show your power,
Wonders and success last forever.
