The wretched shop stands beside the narrow lane,
Its shopkeeper is poor, but he is honest and has a great heart,
Very few customers come to him,
He welcomes everyone with great love and care.
The rich and gorgeous shop is situated beside the wide road,
The insolent shopkeeper of it does not care who comes to his shop or not,
In fact people come there automatically,
As he has plenty of stock.
An old customer asks the poor shopkeeper,
"Are you not jealous of the rich shopkeeper? "
The needy shopkeeper calmly replies,
"Not at all, I am very happy with my honesty and hospitality to all of you."
