Suryaputra, Angraaj, Radhey they called,
How could this mystery never be solved?
Spoke of my valour, they did appreciate.
Why couldn't I get what was appropriate?
What was appropriate, What I deserve?
Hunh, a barren land and a wheel just struck.
Times I reflected, Times I improved.
Times I thought life might go smooth.
But Alas! I forgot, Hard and Smart may go in vain,
Luck maybe it which never does fail.
Luck I tell you, I never believed,
Capabilities are what I always percieved.
But at the end, it made me fall,
Mute in the noise of that silent hall.
I am at fault, I accept my Lord.
But what could I do? I had no other jolt.
Fate had played, always it had.
My efforts, my pain, all went bad.
Supported the wrong, yes, I accepted.
But when I did not, I was always the dejected.
If I couldn't keep my friend's name,
Every else relation to me was just so faint.
Mistake him not for all his doing,
He trusted his friend even in tarnishing.
My own people were at the other end,
To me my golden armour had rust just beheld.
I hold no grudge, I hold no regrets,
I have lost in my life much more bets.
Bow to my mothers, bow to my protectors,
My dearest friend, a spiritual hug to my brothers.
More strength to my ladies who always stood tall,
Love for my sons and all those too whom I had yet not lost.
Last message to you, O one with the chariot and the shell.
I knew you much and you knew me the most well.
You are peace, You are supreme, You are solace.
In your submission, let me have just a tiny place.
I may be complaining or maybe wrecked,
Forgive me for all the moments of unrest.
It was my destiny, I had accepted.
Only a little was I affected.
But I thankyou for putting in me so much faith,
This present moment had been of much much wait.
Liberate me O Lord of all such emotions,
Anger, Jealousy, Pride, only except pure devotion.
I may not be remembered for my talent and state,
But make me unforgottable for loyalty sake.
Just loyalty's sake.

The mighty warrior Karna, whose talent and abilities spoke the most. A glimpse into his state at the very last of his life, his vision which could blur away anytime soon.
In a way, a tribute to the glorious Angaraaj!
