Aa Kaayaa Keraa Sanchaani Kadu Khotkaani

Aa Kaayaa Keraa Sanchaani Kadu Khotkaani
Paavru Gadethi Utaryu Nahi Paani...
Vaidadaa Aavyaa Ene Osad Vaatyaane Paayaa Amrat Paani,
Soyu Bharaavi Ene Chirine Joyu Tyaa Vaidani Mati Munzaani...
Joshidaa Aavyaa Ene Kaadhi Janmotarine Ughaadyaa Tipnaa Taani,
Navey Grahone Ene Poochhi Joyu Toye Jivyaani Joogti Na Jaani...
Bhuvo Aavyo Ene Haakotaa Maaryaa Jatiyaa Maathaanaa Taani,
Daanaa Joyaane Pachhi Daaklaa Vaagyaa Tyaa Toh Podhi Giyo Maando Praani...
Maantaa Kidhi Ene Baadhaa Lidhi Kidhi Gaamni Ujaani,
Japiyaa Betthaa Laadu Jamey Tyaa Toh Maandaani Kaanu Mandaani...
Sanchaano Ghadnaaro Sanchaamaa Bettho Eni Kadi Na Kari Orkhaani,
Kaag Kiye Ghadi Ek Sancho Nahi Haale Jedi Khutse Daanone Paani...


When The Machinery Of This Body Stop Working
It Becomes Impossible To Swallow Even A Spoonful Of Water
Traditional Doctors Grinded The Herbs And Made Him Drink It With Healing Water
Gave Injections, Operated On The Body, Even Then Could Not Diagnose The Illness
Astrologer Came, Looked At His Horoscope And Opened The Pages Of His Star Signs
He Tried To Find The Cause From 9 Stars, But Could Not Find A Cure To Keep Him Alive
A Spiritual Healer Came, Shouted And Pulled The Hair Of The Patient
Spread Special Grains To Find A Cause And Played Little Drums. The Sick Person Closed His Eyes
Relatives Tried To Please God By Fasting And Invited The Villagers To Eat
Bhramins Chanted, Were Given Sweet Food, Still The Ill Person Died And People Started Mourning
The Engineer Who Made This Body Resides Inside It, But You Never Tried To Find Out
Poet Kaag Says The Machinery Of The Body Will Stop Working Instantly Once The Lifespan Is Over
