    I'm Not Calling You Mother Anymore by Ramprasad Sen
    I'm Not Calling You Mother Anymore

    Ramprasad Sen




    I'm not calling you Mother anymore.

    You've given me such agony,

    and keep giving me more.

    I used to be a happy householder.

    You've made me into a crazy ascetic.

    What else can you do to me, Wild-Haired One?

    I'd go from house to house

    and beg my food,

    rather than call you Mother,

    or come to your arms,

    or sit in your lap again.

    I kept calling "Mother, Mother,"

    but Mother, your eyes didn't see

    and your ears didn't hear.

    Can any other misfortune matter

    when a son suffers like an orphan

    with his mother still there?
