My Yearning

My yearning
Isn't for any position.
Certainly, it isn't for name or fame.
My yearning is
For the education of the poor children!

My yearning
Isn't for caste, 
Nor is it, in the least, for religion. 
My yearning is
For light in the lives of subdued kids

Kept away from school, 
When the little hands wash plates in hotels, 
My heart is swindled.
My only yearning is
To do something big for them!

The young girls, 
Expected to do 'homework' at school 
Are pushed into the chores at home.
My yearning is
To rebuild their lives!

Born in Cheerlavancha
Posting billboards all over
With a starving stomach, I was brought up
Yet, found my way to education.
I know that poverty is hell
Ignorance is utter darkness 
Education is the true weapon.

Chamak Padhai Se 
Is for the cause
It gives education 
And transforms lives.
That's my yearning 
And the fight is for the cause.
