Be Reasonable Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The happiness lies on face
Within self and need not be traced
Be fully contended with whatever you have
Stay comfortable and nicely behave

The fact has to remain as fact
You must accordingly act
Day may remain as day
And night too may stay

Boost yourself not in arrogant way
Ignore friends and pay
No attention they deserve
Please take it for granted that you are observed

One by one all friends may desert
There won’t be any one to support
The wealth and position too may prove contrary
Hence good conduct is very much necessary

Follow your own conscious
Be reasonable and pious
It is for your self to follow
No show off and lay low

You may need no consolation
For your strong belief and relation
It may stay with firmness
As relation always shine with fineness
