Gone was I when I closed my eyes.
When I was cold as frozen ice.
Gone was I when on that pyre
to my corpse you set fire.
But I know,
from your heart never gone was I
It's so hard for you
to wish me a ' Bye'.
Oh dear, please stop your tears
and remove this funeral wear.
No longer my soul is free
as your pain binds me.
Within this marshland,I am stuck.
Neither can I again come
nor able to leave earth.
My soul wants to rest in peace
so forget me
as I am deceased.
