If I get a child, I give you my hairs anytime
To commit to her words, she was uncertain
She gave few hairs that touched the spine

The wealthy businessman came by a ship
Violent storms made the travel a hardship
‘I will donate the poor’, was his worship
To donate, I sell my house, he told in a sip

The ship sailed safely coming to the shore
His thoughts perplexed even to sell his door
His house will really worth more than a crore
But announced to sell his house in a roar

Fixed the price of his house as one rupee
All had come to buy the house in a spree
His condition was to buy his cat not for free
Fixed the price of his cat, hard to agree

Selling his house and cat, he donated 1 rupee
Committing to his words, he thought he is free
Ask from the lord, not all that you see
If you have given the layman, give it to me.

The helpless woman appealed to the divine
If I get a child, I give you my hairs anytime
To commit to her words, she was uncertain
She gave few hairs that touched the spine

The wealthy businessman came by a ship
Violent storms made the travel a hardship
‘I will donate the poor’, was his worship
To donate, I sell my house, he told in a sip

The ship sailed safely coming to the shore
His thoughts perplexed even to sell his door
His house will really worth more than a crore
But announced to sell his house in a roar

Fixed the price of his house as one rupee
All had come to buy the house in a spree
His condition was to buy his cat not for free
Fixed the price of his cat, hard to agree

Selling his house and cat, he donated 1 rupee
Committing to his words, he thought he is free
Ask from the lord, not all that you see
If you have given the layman, give it to me.
