Hidden between the leaves, I yearned to see the light of the day,
The day of my blossoming into this world, mind full of blissful aroma,
The aroma only zephyr can spread, announcing my unfolded beauty,
In the solitude, behind the leaves, I yearned for a kiss of breeze.
Even the bright sun failed, to pierce through the breach of the leaves,
Yet I could feel the rays of love, and could see my clan dancing to the tune of breeze.
Nor the spring's sprinkles could reach me, to adorn my petals with pearls of dew,
Stood I tranquilized, shade of leaves splashing all over me.
"Oh God, when I'll see the world of light, when I'll swim in the ocean of breeze,
Who'll be there to notice my beauty, how cruel is Mother Nature to me."
My prayer didn't go astray; the leaves couldn't stand the heat of the sun's rays,
The weary leaves fell aside, parting the way for me to the world of light,
From the shade of obscurity, to the horizons of free air,
I came out triumphantly, to make me lovable by all.
