MY MIND FURNISHES CERTAIN WISHES

A new path I want to tread
Where only peace will prevail
And with none I like to fight
As compromise is my wish

None is totally bad or good
All have vices and virtues
Let me look at the noble side
And forget the bad aspect

Let me pray and also work
So that God will love to reward
Let me not develop jealousy
Or hatred at any point of time

In case I win let me be quiet
Let not losses pluck my guts
When I am ignored by the World
Let me pray for a safe position

When I need money very crucially
Let my coffers be reasonably filled
Let borrowing act be not by me done
For which let the Almighty bless

When all are in a confused state
Let my confidence give to all light
When all are in a angry mood
Let my reasoning help them ever

When my status gets elevated
Let all souls be asked to share
When sorrow grips me cruelly
Let bearing power God bestow

Helping the poor is a noble act
For which let God give me a mind
Hurting others is a terrible sin
Which may me removed from me

When I am confused, let wisdom I get
When I am very angry, let love takeover
When I am deeply sad, let God rescue
When I am very happy, let humility come

Neither fear nor tear be by me allowed
Neither anger nor hatred let me get
Neither sorrow nor agony come to hurt me
God and nobility must embrace my soul.
