The stars in the Sky twinkle to soothe

The Moon asks all to come back

The clouds travel to enjoy the World

Cool breeze now shows her prowess

-

Darkness says it has great friends

Who charm the really true observers

It feels that it is in no way dejected

As it learns lessons about emptiness

-

Sun will vanish to serve the other side,

So, sets in darkness not to spoil hope,

But, to indicate that life also has gloom,

So, fill heart with all hopeful thoughts.

-

Night cools the Earth with superb skill,

All beings take rest after severe toil,

Their minds and bodies are given cure,

They with true joy recuperate to live.

-

Night will come to soothe all of us daily,

We must understand her golden heart,

By using intelligently her kind presence,

We must build our lives helping World.

-

Never curse the darkness during the night,

Meditate and chant a prayer to the Sun,

Remember Sun's feat of giving brightness,

Thank God by wondering about His act!
