Light of the world

The celestial lamp-lighter of the night

Bathes the world in its ethereal moonlight

While night brings into focus millions of the stars,

Satellites and planets, the fiery one being Mars..

 

In the bright unclouded day, the sun sends forth its rays

It is the only star that preserves the human race

The sun, like other stars, is also suspended in space

And as soon as it does set, shadows rush in its place

 

The mind has to perform a thousand deeds

And the heart has to do just one-

It just  has to love – to forgive and forget

Though it has compensations none.

 

The heart and the sun help the world to exist

They are pre – requisites - each one

For the light of the whole world fades and dies

When light and love, there is none…
