Always opt for a wise adjustment,

By ignoring anger's inducement,

Do your duty with commitment,

Show the needed involvement.


You are paid and so you ever toil,

Make peace grow on heart-soil,

Your efforts, fate may try to foil,

Your will, allow nothing to spoil.


To jealousy become not vulnerable,

Opportunities are innumerable,

If you are simple and also humble,

At no time, you will surely stumble.


If working hours happen to increase,

Let not your enthusiasm decrease,

One day, every problem will cease,

From its firm hold, fate will release.


Enough money, the job supplies,

Doing of duty, it actually implies,

With lethargy, if one lazily lies,

Surely no peace till one dies.


Your body, let sweats decorate,

To work means to finely celebrate,

Love to work, don't wrongly hate,

Start now itself before it is too late.


Sun provides light and heat singly,

You respect Sun by praying adoringly,

You follow Sun and work amazingly,

Let sweat stay in your body dazzlingly.


The Moon is also excellently educating,

Enough period of rest, it is calculating,

Loyally and lovingly, it is circulating,

It is emaciating and then rejuvenating.


Stars regularly give their bright attendance,

And illuminate the Sky with resplendence,

The world can never have independence,

Upon Nature's duty, she has a dependence.


So, Nature works without duty's stoppage,

By supplying things in enough dosage,

In case you wish to enter history's page,

Work hard before reaching your old age!
