How happy I was when I won the race!
I shall now see the beautiful world
I shall listen to the melodies of life,
I shall smell the scented flowers,
I shall taste the fruits,
I shall feel the pleasure of touches.
All my five friends congratulated me
and I thanked them.
But the sixth friend remained silent
and when I asked him
why didn't you congratulate me, my oldest friend?
He replied, "It's not as nice as you think."
Now having seen this beautiful world,
having listened to the melodies of life,
having smelled the scented flowers,
having tasted the fruits,
having felt the pleasure of touches,
when I turn back
to the moment when I was conceived,
I don't find any of my five lovely friends,
but the sixth friend is still standing there.
"No need of being so much pessimistic
be a little optimistic
get yourself prepared for another race.
Good luck and bad luck come in cycles.
Hope this time you win the race once again
and find yourself in a different world.
All the best! "
Thanks my lovely sixth friend,
you are my best friend.
Yes, fortune is a wheel...we should be alert and cautious not to miss the good luck...also should be prepared to cross through the bad lucky phase with intelligence and tolerance...very meaningful poem Akhtar....thanks a lot
