18. Birthday Prayers
This birth on earth I owe to the Creator.
Of the ship I sail in He is the Navigator.
My actions are guided by Him all time.
The course of my life then gets sublime.
Though wishes and prayers do pour in
On my birthdays from all kith and kin,
It’s finally He who listens to all prayers
And from my life dispels all despairs.
A prayer when true never goes unheard,
The violent ship of life is then anchored.
