An orphan

Mother, why you left me alone
Before you, father had gone
I am  not much grown
There is much pain in my bone

People laugh at me and make my fun
Because I am an orphan



I come home every day at night
I feel  everywhere your sight
While begging on the road at night
Dogs come near me to bite

With much fright I start to run
Because I am an orphan



Here everybody avoids me
My pant is torn and above knee
I put my life at stake even for a single penny
Even when the weather is cloudy, rainy or sunny

I get slaps and scolds from everyone
Because I am an orphan



Since your demise I am here
In dilapidated house, on the road without anyone's care
Much pain I get inflicted and try to bear
In the chilling cold I have nothing to wear

 I go out and bring some twigs to burn
Because I am an orphan


Mother, you cooked for me daily
we ate a little but slept happily
Every morning you woke up very early
To make my future bright you worked honestly

For many a day I am hungry and speak none
Because I am an orphan


Now my body is weak , I have hunger
I feel much pain even in my slumber
Everyone has closed their door, even our neighbour
They are perhaps eating chocolates of different flavor

Into my room doesn't  peer even the Sun
Because I am an orphan
Because I am an orphan ...
