Why Have You Sunk Deep In The Sea Poem by Lalleshwari

Why Have You Sunk Deep In The Sea



Why have you sunk deep in the sea
of the illusory pleasures of the world?
Why have you pulled down the high-banked road
which could have led you safe across?
The dense darkness of tamas surrounds you now,
and, at the appointed time,
Yama's apparitors prepare to drag
your body bleeding to death.
Who can dispel your fear of death?
