Amazed
at how tricked your mind,
Pleading
earnestly not to desert,
It
was already dawn to attend a job,
You
didn't listen to their request,
Dawn
broke for a bright future,
Meeting
with suave businessmen,
you
purely believed in mint gold,
A
profession is a challenge to strike,
It
was raw courage attack to grab,
Select
businessmen are in guise,
Pick
the right one still in the dark,
Established
prospered a person,
A
man of the village I objected to views,
Your
mind illusive waylaid to trap,
Never
thought of luxurious life,
Beautiful
women, flattering shadows,
Line
of costly car, life in hotels,
The
evening was a smelling dream,
Scented
with wine, gambling, trade,
From
a remote village, I had warned,
Advised
you to reject urban life,
Return
to your native place soon,
The
avalanche of fortune trap you,
Buried
under the snow of lost property,
Knew
intimately your life you reveal,
Never
wanted you to proceed,
Felt
for your wife and kids all the time,
Let
them stay at the village home,
Equally
addicted to urban life,
Your
family was reluctant to return,
I
inherited ten acres of land,
Purchased
another ten acres later,
Maintain
a breeding farm in profit,
Agricultural
land convert fruit garden,
Inside
my firm, a house is built,
My
family prefers the village,
Children
educated invested here,
Dairy
products keep families happy,
Agreed,
your life not to the extent,
Your
lifestyle is impossible here,
Reading
your letter heartbroken,
Face
loss in business and property,
Family
resenting, peace missing,
Home
in shambles, children angry,
Sick
is your wife, you are concerned,
Facing
impending disaster, a storm,
Plead
heart touchingly please come,
Come
back, dear friend, remember,
We
were school-mates the village waits,
Your
parental property develop here,
Can
find time engages, life earns,
The
village in the lap of nature,
The
everlasting greens, forest, river,
Enough
treasure here you missed,
A
cow herd, evening temple visits,
Wives
pass the time in the temple,
Prayer
with oil lamp lit, obligate,
Believe
me, friend, she will recover,
Happiness
will return joy usher,
Let
the children get involved here,
Agriculture
is a pretty business,
Today
our correspondence helped,
He
is returning to his village soon,
Sold
his business property tattered,
Business
associates learn shattered.
My
friend realized life mattered.
