Sooner I learned to fly
I flew in the air
Covered long distances
Most of the time in air
Never wanted to return on ground
I was master of my own wills
I was happy with my life
I saw other birds with beautiful legs
I prayed god to make my legs beautiful
He said no tell another wish
I said give me beautiful long feathers
God fulfilled my wish
I felt eternal bliss
I danced and danced
With feathers wide spread
Every bird was jealous
Then the rain stopped
I waited and waited
Then I decided to return to my nest
I could not fly high
I cannot return to my nest
I had covered a long distance
There are many birds around
Still I feel loneliness
I weep and mourn
When I feel the burden of feathers
I spend days with similar friends
I want to get rid of these feathers
I will have to die with these feathers
Like lover haunted by his beloved’s memories
