Smoking is injurious to health


Man
...

In the narrow dawny morning lane,
Old witch was going back on her way,
Heard; birds were singing with gay,
Who has broken witch's window pane?
...

“Happy New Year”
Amid darkness, Slowly-slowly moved the sun
We all danced, sung and enjoyed with fun
Forgotten everything and with holy heart; dear
...

रख हौसला आसमानों को छूने की
अपने अरमानों का चराग जलाए रख,
ज़िंदगी के हरएक लम्हें को,
ख्वाबों में तू सजाए रख,
...

I used to sit in a garden or in a park,
And watch children; aren't they singing lark?
Agile-fidgety angelic flowers and butterflies,
One is behind other; catch - catch lovely cries!
...

I have been hurt right on my heart,
It is not tears on my eyes but blood
O! Sleeping world, kindly be alert
Please stop innocent's blood flood,
...

Human kind is a mystic book to be read,
Yet we judge by the face; the covering
Thus it becomes fool's errand, we wade,
On the sea, uselessly; fearing, shivering,
...

Today when I was watching, he mirrored,
Seen his face on mine-remembered
Now he is no more, a friend of mine,
Always laughing, joking, such a shine,
...

Patience which I find in women, find no where
They are the holy earth on this earth, is it clear?
Love existed in many forms, motherly love, uniform
For rich or poor or moderate, love, that never harm
...

What poverty? Who can explain better?
I have seen grassy tongues that flatter
For the grains to walk in and go deep
Into the serpentine intestine, we keep
...
