Alone!
Somewhere, I was born. Alone!
From then on
I am with my parents
And siblings
And relatives
And friends too!
Now, where am I?
Somewhere, with someone. Alone!
Without my parents
And siblings
And relatives
And friends too!
I alone and someone alone!
Now become a pair!
Out to rear
And bear:
Responsibilities.
Responsibilities of what?
Being responsible for someone alone!
This is the cycle. They say.
That goes round and round.
And this someone is our child.
And it too has to leave us alone!
Alone somewhere to live alone!
Alone with someone alone:
Called a wife.
Alone! For how long?
Until the absence of either one.
Again to be alone!
Alone. Even in the grave! Alone.
But one thing stays with us alone.
This is so called good deeds we did.
So called because that alone
Cannot save us alone.
But for the mercy of One. Alone.
Who else can?
But the All-Merciful alone!
