Jeevitham

అల ఎగసిపాటు తీరం వరకె
మేఘం ఉరిపాటు ఉరిమేవరకె
మనస్సు ఆరాటం విరిగే వరకె
జీవన పొరాటం మరణం వరకె

తీరాన్ని దాటలేనని అల ఎగసుట మానునా
కురిసాక తన ఉనికి కోల్పొవునని మేఘం ఉరమక మానునా
విరిగాక బాధ కలుగునని మనస్సు ఆరట పడక మానునా
మరణం తథ్యమని మనిషి జీవించుట మానునా

ప్రతి కదలికకీ ఉందొ అర్ధం
ప్రతి ఉనికికీ ఉందొ కారనం
ప్రతి సందర్భనికీ ఉందొ సందేశం
ప్రతి జన్మకీ ఉందొ ధ్యేయం

కదలికల అర్ధాన్ని తెలుసుకొని
ఉనికీయొక్క కారణాన్ని అర్ధంచేసుకొని
సందర్భమిఛె సందేశాన్ని అలవర్చుకొని
జన్మానికున్న ధ్యెయాన్ని సాధించె ప్రయత్నమె జీవితం

ala egasipatu teeram varake

virigaka badha kalugunani manassu aarata padaka maanuna
maranam tathyamani manishi jeevinchuta maanuna

Tide ascends only till the shore.

Cloud roars only till the tunder.

Heart is anxious only till it breaks.

Life's struggle is only till death.

Will a tide cease knowing it cannot cross the shore?

Will a cloud end showering realizing it will lose its identity after lightening?

Will a heart stop yearning understanding it might break someday?

Will a man stop enduring thinking he would cease eventually?

Every moment has a meaning,

Every presence has a reason,

Every situation has a message.

Every inception has a purpose.

Knowing every gesture..

Acknowledging every presence..

Learning from every situation..

Achieving the purpose of every birth is known as living.

Are you a shining star?

Or a falling comet?

Are you the draining water current?

Or a cloud reaching the sky?

Are you the bright sunrays?

Or blazing fire?

Are you a companion who will stand by?

Or a friend who will remain as a memory?

Are you the happiness of a fulfilled dream?

Or the instigation of a desire?

Are you the obstacle created by the situation?

Or the answer given by the time.

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..

The memory of that day,

got a smile on my face,

brought jubilance inside me.

The friendship at that tender age,

left a lovely feeling,

attained a dear companion.

O my friend,

In the journey of life, whatever shore we might end up in,

In the struggle for life, whatever stage we might cross,

I will never forget our acquaintance,

I shall never leave your association.
