Today is the day, please seize,
Your achievements, you increase,
Work hard for everyone's peace,
During that process, earn Rupees !
---
Always feel wisely humble,
At no time, wrongly gamble,
At times, you may fumble,
But, pursue goals so noble !
---
End will, one day, knock at your door,
Your whole self will reach the floor,
Still, feel not that life is a bore,
Like an eagle, learn to greatly soar !
---
Tasting of defeat, you mayn't relish,
But, for that, life, don't relinquish,
Be not sad like a waterless fish,
To swim, tear, sweat, Gods furnish !
---
At no time, feel sorrowfully hopeless,
Feel, without you, World is helpless,
Do not any duty by being careless,
Train to be ever bravely fearless !
---
Any good thing, you can achieve,
Weep not and foolishly grieve,
From this World, before you leave,
Every second, believe and live !
---
Maybe you may badly lose,
Tears, fate may enclose,
But, your ambition, don't close,
It helps you live like your nose !
---
When you chase something,
Success, it mayn't bring,
No use at all in brooding,
Indulge not in tear-shedding !
---
On God, put the entire blame,
Let faith act as a holy flame,
Others also suffer from the same,
Losing is never at all a shame !
---
God's name if you always chant,
The needed boons, He will grant,
In heart, let grow hope-plant,
Be briskly busy like a tiny ant !
