THE ART OF LIFE
Hazara Singh
A reliable friend in all ups and downs of life
Is one’s health; enviable wealth none can steal
Adds to pleasure and hails challenge to face strife.
Virtue of patience that helps man to conquer his self.
Is the second great talent, which all ought have
Keeps off anger, lets not hanker after show arid pelf.
Intellect which shows light, whether it is day or night
Distinguishes man from every beast, bird and reptile
Creates in him His image, making him noble and right
If man acquires as well a kind and feeling heart
To help with his virtues the needy and weak
Heaven on earth he finds for he leads life as an art.
