A Candle
Everyone can easily handle
I am like a candle
Just look at the sacrifice
Of the candle,
It gives light to others
And for self-elimination
It burns
Its destination is only that
Not any other returns
It is centuries used
At the dark nights
For the books to read
For the work to feed
You can buy that
If you need
I just want you to feel
I am burning for you
With the pure zeal
As like the candle
At the facing of your eyes
To stay
For the keeping soul ties
Everyone can easily handle
I am like a candle.
