Am I the water droplet that reach the ground..

Or nectar that quench the thirst..

Am I the flower fallen to ground..

Or a fruit brought to life..

Am I the rain droplet that join ocean..

Or a pearl formed during swaati constellation..

Am I the nagging pain..

Or the rebuking conscience..

Am I the fading life..

Or broadening wisdom..

Am I the fate that cause hardships..

Or road of life that concieve lasting memories..

Am I the inescapable reality..

Or the perspective that instigate thought..

Kanupaapanu cherina aa roopam
Palikinchenu madinoo madhura raagam
Reepenu naalo ohh navaanubhavam

naa odini tanu cheraalani kaligenoo bhaavam
naa gundela pai tanu vaalaalani kanupaapa choosenoo swapnam
tana cheyyi patti nadipinchaalani karamu chesenoo sankalpam
