And Those Who Left Me Alone In Pain

 And Those Who Left Me Alone In Pain 

( Sahil Sharifdin Bhat )      

Great things take time, this I know,

With patience, I'll reap what I sow.  

I am a strong believer in hard labour 

And my strong belief does not waver. 

Those who mock me and seem ahead,

Will be forgotten after they are dead. 

But, a poet continues to live in the hearts 

Of the lovely people when he departs.  

I laboured hard when the others snored

And my hard labour won't be ignored. 

I sacrificed my youth and nightly sleep, 

I will not be left forever to weep.  

Yes , the great souls are tested and tried 

But, the fruit of their labour is not denied. 

Those who invest their blood and sweat

Will be surely rewarded if not yet. 

If there is truly the Kind Divine,  

He will not waste the labour of mine,

He will bless me with success and fame,

He will put all my enemies to shame 

And those who left me alone in pain 

Shall witness my rise and grow insane.
