Cry of a Shameless Slave
*******************
http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/shameless.htm
It is a commonly accepted fact,
(That) there are limits for favors to ask
Relations with others are bound
By manners when arises certain want
One may request.
Then ask.
And again.
But for every favor to you given
Shall be given another in return…
O Listener of my woes!
O Fulfiller of my wants!
O who raised my name!
O who spread my fame!
O Solver of my hardships!
O Remover of harm!
O Originator of wonders!
You have indeed heard me
No complaint do I have against You
I have asked You for so many years
But Your Reply make them appear as days
I have learnt only for favors to ask
I am used for Your Reply to reach
I am more confident of Your Prompt Answer
Than my own questions which in me trigger
Without feeling any shame have I asked
I wished for rain, but not ready to be soaked
And yet again,
I dare to ask again.
For more gain-
Your Bountiful Rain!
I ask You,
O my Generous Master!
A shameless slave I am
But not a deceitful sham!
Grant me the generous favor
To thank for all that You did deliver
If You made me the envy of the humans
By giving me blessings in abundance
Then make me also the envy of angels
To pay You gratitude for these miracles!
