Halt there, O' dear life! please reduce your speed somewhat----

Halt there, O' dear life! please reduce your speed somewhat,
I have been constantly on the move, let me have some rest.


It were those childhood dreams, which I passionately chased;

Got so embroiled in them that fun of my youth I had missed.

Halt there, O' dear life! please reduce your speed somewhat,

I have been constantly on the move, let me have some rest.


Many a goals I had achieved but I was never to be contented,

As the race went on, sorrow and ecstasy were both presented.

Halt there, O' dear life! please reduce your speed somewhat,

have been constantly on the move, let me have some rest.


There were those times when 'life' moved slowly, so did I;

I don't know how it happened, but suddenly 'life' began to fly?

Halt there, O' dear life! please reduce your speed somewhat,

I have been constantly on the move, let me have some rest.


In this fast moving life, I came across land- mark destinations-

At times, my feet stumbled or it were simple miscalculations.

Halt there, O' dear life! please reduce your speed somewhat,

I have been constantly on the move, let me have some rest.


'Relatives- worries' or the 'pressure of my job' were never kind;

Also, the future of my children constantly troubled my mind?

Halt there, O' dear life! please reduce your speed somewhat,

I have been constantly on the move, let me have some rest.


I was so engrossed with the worries of the future, my dear!

I have no clue when my face aged and body had wear and tear.

Halt there, O' dear life! please reduce your speed somewhat,

I have been constantly on the move, let me have some rest.


I lament, I wasted my time always worrying for others,

Time to take rest now "Rajee", your tired feet dodder.

Halt, O' dear Life! Please reduce your speed somewhat;

I have been constantly on the move, let me have some rest.
