When will I get good news?
The Almighty, I seriously ask,
When will my agonies reduce?
And will I succeed in my task?
Will I get all my pending dues?
Will they come if I don't bask?
Peace hasn't gloomily come yet,
Please God, peace let me now get,
Ease my soul caught in worry-net,
I am awaiting your reply,
If you come not in the open,
Again and again, I will apply,
If good things don't happen,
To me, death you now supply,
As it is a peace-giving weapon?
