I do not know
Why am I in this prison, I do not know
Wherefrom this universe has arisen, I do not know
The cause of my existence, what happens after death
The purpose of my life, it's mission, I do not know
How the sun rises and the seasons change
How the planets stay in position, I do not know
Who makes the flowers bloom and the stars
shine? How, do the birds sing?
Is there a magician I do not know?
Vineet laments at his pitiful condition groping in the dark
Why, does he have eyes but no vision?I do not know
