ARE YOU STILL ASKING ME WHY?

 ARE YOU STILL ASKING ME WHY?

1)I was waiting for you all the time
Though time never waits for us
For giving me hope and broken promise
I tired but never gave up
Are you still asking me why?

2)I tried my level best to replace my name
To the world where deletion takes place
For updating and editing I my self
Now my name is not found from your palace
Are you still asking me why?

3)Your father never pronounces Dalu as my name
His eyes don’t want to see the way I am
His ears don’t want to hear my poorly voice
When will he welcome me to his home?
Are you still asking me why?

4)I always wake up at the middle of night
When the endless darkness covers the world
I thank and pray for God
Because the God is for us all
Are you still asking me why?

5)I heard a voice calling me there
To a place where my Ummu was born
I hope this could not be a day dream
That will wipe away my coming will
Are you still asking me why?
