Days come and go
Man remains himself
Looks deep into the pool of life
And consumes the world
Nothing goes in perpetuity

Man isn't beware of jealousy
Refutes his blessings
No gratitude to his Lord
No meal could fill his belly
As long as he sees another eating

Man be not blind
Count your favour bestowed
Render appraisals to whom it's due
The giver of sustainance
And the taker of it

Yet man remains
His sadness caused by anothers happiness
Poor with millions of diamonds
Empty with sound and full health
His blessings never in cognizance.
