Analysis of The funeral of a dream

Deepak Pyakurel 1969 (Hetauda)



I am in the funeral procession of my own dream now
The dream that always seemed sweet to me

What a day to go to the funeral of own dream
My life became dark before evening

My dream is burning in the pyre now
The dream that always seemed sweet to me

After the dream dies, life becomes an orphan
Life without dreams is meaningless

I am in search of a similar dream now
The dream that always seemed sweet to me
