Searching for a Happy Heart

I’m in search of a heart, happy and bright,


Having a sound sleep each night,


Even with a little possession,


Dares to stand on in passion.


 

Is he happy,


With much wealth and property,


Yet devoid of peace,


As the ailing soul longs for ease?


 

Happy is he,


Who is never greedy,


Like the war-mongers,


And the evil-doers.

 

 

What else can bring joy to us,


Other than the smile on the face thus,


That a person does paint,


Lending a hand, being a saint?


 

Isn’t the seed delighted,


Sacrificing the shell, appreciated?


Giving is what happiness lies beneath,

 

If the former is the seed, the latter is the wreath!
