Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.


Have you seen that child with watery eyes?
Sometimes who peeks from the window of the small hut nearby
With shaking lips and shivering legs moves doors to doors for begging bread
Have no one to look after except his sick mother
Whose days of living will not long further,
The doors he beg slams on his face
For no one kind cares for his pains,
Have you seen that child with watery eyes?
Though nobody ever sees him cry.

Have you seen that child with watery eyes?
Who looks to other school going boys
And heaves a sigh seeing their joys
For he is forbidden to realise them
Destined to carry the loads of loss and pain
Have you seen that child with watery eyes?
Though nobody ever sees him cry.

Have you seen that child with watery eyes?
Whose entrails creates nothing but cry
Begs street to street to give his luck a try
For he is like a stone to the passerby
Have you seen that child with watery eyes?
Though nobody ever sees him cry.
