SREEJITH KULAPARAMBIL - Ruined Emperor

Oh! Lord! br King of Kings! br You were the most powerful emperor br I had ever seen br br Alas! What a pity! br Now your kingdom is no more yours br The wind of fortune, sung a hostile tune br Victory kissed the feet of your enemy br Your friends and kins left you alone br Now you are standing bare feet br On this barren land br Under the scorching heat of Sun br br Where have those days gone! br When, thou words were command for your people br Where have those days gone! br When, enemies fled with the sight of your shadow br Where have those days gone! br When merchants made bee line- br to offer you their hoarded wealth br Where have those days gone! br When, you had beautiful maidens around you br Who, enchanted you with their youthful essence br Where have those days gone! br When, you laid only on silky mattress, br Wore only the finest leathers on your feet br Where have those days gone! br When, the glasses of wine never left your lips br br Everything passes away with the time br Nothing stands there forever br The ultimate truth is revealed br We are all travelers in the caravan of life br Nothing we brought along with us br Nothing will be taken to the ultimate abode br br Now stop not, but flow, br Along with the currents of river called “life” br Step aside from those momentary pleasures br They are nothing but fugitive emotions br br Walk along the path of renunciation br Watching the mind’s guileful behaviour br No two remains there for long br The clouds of ignorance will move away br When the gust of inner knowledge sway br Revealing the serene soul br Shining brightly, br Spreading rays of thousand Suns.
