Wake up Meera!
If someone sends you a basket
With cobra
And names it as a basket of flowers,
It won’t turn into a Krishna’s idol,
A cobra it shall remain!
Wake up Meera!
If you are delivered a cup of poison
Stating that it is nectar,
Even if you offer it to Krishna,
Poison it shall remain
And you shall die!
Wake up Meera!
If you jump in a river,
There shall be no Krishna
To make you float;
And drowning shall be your destiny!
Wake up Meera!
Learn to survive on your own!
Miracles don’t happen,
And no one comes to save anyone-
Seeing this ruthless, frigid and unsentimental world,
Even the Krishnas have disappeared;
You have to learn to swim
And cross oceans of life!
