Heaven Hails A Happy Man Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Let people pause and ponder that they can,
Freed from mind's prison, from what-if's pall,
Know, heaven hails a happy man.

Right things do happen to man, when
He hearkens to soul's silent call,
When people ponder, know they can.

Do take a panoramic pan,
View that the world's no hospice hall,
The world too hails a happy man.

Sweeten O man if salty gets your pan,
Stop posturing once and for all,
And pause to ponder that ye can.

So, all that man has to do then—
To shatter a separating wall
And be together as happy men.

This done, be a free bird again
Be where night ends, dawn's domain calls
And haply feel that ye sure can,
Heaven hails such a happy man.
