Rickshawala

A man who pulled men physically,
to the need of livelihood.
He strains his whole body for
menial demands and fulfillment of at least
two-time meals and two-time chaya.

The representative of poverty.
The symbol of toiled work.
The art of hardworking.
The syllabus of hope and sincerity.

Thrives to grasp the power of the economy,
and know the significance of money.
Never bargain with rickshawala.
We can learn the importance of a single rupee from him.

Handling in hands and legs as
a swimmer with lots of sweat.
Wandering here and there as
a Gypsy with lots of load.
Frayed body pulls healthy body,
With smiling face always getting ready for another tiresome day,
though his day is in darkness.
