33. My Family

My heart is burnt by it‘s own wound,
As my house is burnt by it’s own light,
My fate can not work against my destruction,
Even none defended me to set right.

I have high minded to ween of our business,
But my wife set fire in my joint family,
She poisoned my mind against my brothers,
Suddenly I argued with them to share my property.

Angrily they dejected and separated me ungainly
I repented for the wrong delusion of my wife,
Though I was the main leading person at home,
Alas! now I am mum and bank-rupt in my life.
