A Worker at the Farm

I have one roof

A few necessary  things to live off

Children who are brilliant at studies

And a diligent wife.

In the morning

I go to the farm to work

By dusk, I return

Tired by the laborious work,

I sleep audaciously on the Godhadi

I see beautiful dreams

Of the world

I love this life so much

I’ve just got one

I live by the definition

Of a maverick dreamer

I do not commit suicide

Like a farmer.
