If sleep is not that deep,
Don't self-pity and weep,
Mind's sanity, you must keep,
Then, rich benefits, you can reap.
-
After a strong sedative consumption,
If takes place not sleep's resumption,
Mind wavers is the final presumption,
That is a very perfect assumption.
-
Your mind, you must have to tame,
For sleeplessness, it is to blame,
If it aims greedily for name and fame,
Then, its owner loses in the life-game.
-
How to sleep peacefully?
How to relax gainfully?
How to meditate successfully?
How to live this life usefully?
-
Answers are made easily available,
Amid tears, life-boat is sailable,
To the dutiful, God is ever favorable,
Nobility makes peace easily possible.
-
Be dutiful by leaving to God the result,
Be prayerful for God's heart to melt,
Proper sleeping pattern for an adult,
Is tied very secretly in their own belt.
-
To sleep deeply, do holy meditation,
During sleeping time, avoid cogitation,
Keep your mind calm with no agitation,
Allow not in tears, heart's irrigation.
-
Pray, work, earn and take adequate rest,
Welcome sleep who is a temporary guest,
Soundest sleep is always the very best,
Sleep clears the mind of yesterday's dust.
-
Though sleeping state is temporary,
Benefits of sleeping are exemplary,
Sleep is lost by an unnecessary worry,
And of course by too much merry.
-
Life's happenings, mind must wisely balance,
Account of peace must have enough balance,
Prayers delivered during night's chilly silence,
Will bring peace, calm and sleep in abundance!
