When did you
Go so far ahead?
I remained here
In these surroundings.
Traveling to
Many countries
Observing all
Wonderful things
Meeting people
Of all cultures
Performing deftly
A variety of jobs
You earned a lot
Of rich experience
And I remained
In these surroundings.
Don't ever go to
Unknown places
Don't you talk to
Any strangers
Everybody stressed
Repeatedly to me
I blindly believed
And strictly followed
With no interest
In knowing the unknown
For years together
My curiosity dried up
Like tree in the forest
Like the stationary rock
I remained here
Where I was always
And you moved
Far far ahead.
