DON'T BE PROUD . (POEM)

* DON'T BE PROUD ! * 

                          -AF EKBAL .

Don't be proud my dear-   

Of your beauty,strength and health,  

Of your riches wisdom personality-   

Of your knowledge, ability and wealth. 

None can preserve the beauty forever,  

Nor can maintain the strength equally tight,  

Blooms the beautiful flower in a garden  

Doesn't remain evergreen and bright. 

Life is so ironic- sadness and happiness   

Always stay abreast edgewise,  

You have to accept misery and bliss 

Fully sometimes, sometimes phasewise. 

In life, to be happy and free 

Have to obtain these transmissions-  From doubt to faith, despair to hope,  

From darkness to light, pessimism to optimism.
