World by my side

World by my side

The church, edifice of might

Steeples painted bright

The cleric witnessed the knot I tied

Vowed never to untie.


Quivering fingers brushed my hand

As I slipped the wedding band

Felt world is by my side

Yes, till end we would bind.


I took that vow

My lady, my love

Will lend a helping hand

And shoulders too I will lend.


Lean on, lady, till the thick world thins

But thick or thin

Will always remain close to your heart 

Till death make us apart.




Translation in Malayalam by Haroon Rasheed
