Beggar


Oh, my why your eyes are wet?

Eyes are red as sunset

No one feels your sorrow tonight

Wondering where you sleep tonight

 

How much hunger do you feel?

As to eat a bowl of steel

Asking for money, food and borrow

Why anyone can't see this sorrow

 

Going on roads in midday sun

Giving love to your only sun

Past life, don't know what you've done

Having some only jam with bun
