gajanan mishra - One is deaf

One is deaf, another is blind,
One is short, another is tall,
One is lame, another is elephantiasis,
One is ugly, another is hare-lipped,
One is weak, another is eunuch,
One is white, another is black,
In this colored world you are to
see and test what and where you are.
Since it is the shadow world, let us
not comment on this world, my dear.
It is changeable always when the original
is changing there far away from us.
Let us see the statue that is ours
here and there as silent spectators.
