My Mantra to Live Life -> Ek Pal Ka Jeena ...

(Ek pal ka jeena, phir to hai jaana
Tofa kya leke jaaye, dil yeh bataana) - 2
Khaali haath aaye the hum
Khaali haath jaayenge
Bas pyaar ke do meethe bol jhilmilaayenge
To hans kyoon ki duniya ko hai hasaana
(Ae mere dil tu gaaye jaa
Ae aaye aao aaye aa) - 2

Oh, aankhon mein dilbar ka sapna bhi hai
Haan koi sapna bhi hai
Oh, duniya mein mera koi apna bhi hai
Haan koi apna bhi hai
Ek chehraa khaas hai, jo dil ke paas hai
Honton pe pyaas hai, milne ki aas hai
Dilbaron ka magar kahan koi thikaana
(Ae mere dil tu gaaye jaa
Ae aaye aao aaye aa) - 2

Oh, jeevan khushiyon ka ek jhonka sa hai
Haan koi jhonka sa hai
Oh, aur yeh jhonka ek dhoka sa hai
Yeh kaisi hai khushi, jal jalke jo bujhi
Bujh bujhke jo jali, milke bhi naa mili
Doston par kisi haal mein naa ghabaraana
(Ae mere dil tu gaaye jaa
Ae aaye aao aaye aa) - 2
Ek pal ka jeena, phir to hai jaana
Tofa kya leke jaaye, dil yeh bataana
Khaali haath aaye the hum
Khaali haath jaayenge
Bas pyaar ke do meethe bol jhilmilaayenge
To hans kyoon ki duniya ko hai hasaana
(Ae mere dil tu gaaye jaa
Ae aaye aao aaye aa) - 2

Lessons on Life

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.

Moral:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.
