I have set out in search of work

I have set out in search of work

Friends, now all of you pray for me

I have saved up my courage till now

Though my circumstances are not good these days

I think what will happen if I give up

I use my hands and legs to walk

No one comes forward to help me

Everyone is upset with me these days

This is how I am living my life

Wandering here and there in search of livelihood

If someone hires me

It will be a favour to me

Maybe the stove will burn in my house today

This fire of the stomach is very cruel, sir

It may happen that I do something wrong

How long can I live by staying hungry

How long can I drink this poison of sorrow

Everyday I wake up with a new hope

I don’t know what God has in store for me now

Now even the roads have started to turn away from me

What should I do, where should I go, someone please tell me

This is the state of my life right now

I don’t know when this night will turn into morning

I was waiting for you to come till now

But now you too love someone else

Till now neither have I found any work to do

Nor has my love been fulfilled till now

I don’t know what is God’s will

I don’t know how many wounds my heart has received

Still I am walking on this journey of life

With this hope in my heart that something good will happen someday

I have set out in search of work
