Whose fate till today, has kept him alive

 

To seek the paragon's advice,

he walked into d' hermitage,

in fate, how much property noted

urged d' hermit to read d' lines

inscribed on his forehead

 

Bite your lip and abide quietly,

it's just enough, one rupee per day

pass time peacefully, be stress-free,

with it, need to manage and stay

 

The way he enjoyed his life,

one of his friends got impressed

and proposed to marry his sister

With one rupee daily income only,

I use to manage my life

a pertinent point you must be sure

 

And she wouldn't be able to adjust

with that meager income

before you propose, keep it in mind,

for her might be too troublesome

"No demur from my side,

it's your sister who needs to manage

no matter for me, I do agree,

and ready for a gleeful marriage

 

From that moment onwards had a

hiked income of eleven rupees daily

a boon out of d' blue, unable to digest

wished to re-consult d' hermit early

 

"If it was only one rupee daily,

genuinely allotted to my fate

no added efforts, in such an ease

how come eleven rupees I get?"

 

Did you get married in the meantime

or grooming a love affairs et cetera?"

diligently heard d' entire episode, said,

"Of her fate sanctioned d' ten Rs extra

 

So go on adding d' amount, do save

it will be useful during the marriage

he agreed, happy to hear d' perusal

felt obliged to the prodigy sage

 

After some period, his wife conceived,

and d' income enhanced to 31 rupees

inadvertently committed any crime?

now again wished to visit the hermit

 

Your progeny in d' womb taking shape,

it too has gained its fate, be assured

you couple got eleven rupees daily,

rest twenty Rs added as his share

 

Each one in d' family has his fate,

our income an assemblage of that

we never know for whom we enjoy

our ego behaves in a way different

 

Often we swagger it's my earnings,

my hard work, my endurance solely

each one has flourished, prospered

all d' happening because of me only

 

Never realized about d' real scenario,

for whose fate he gets fed, he thrives

approves him to live a hassle-free life,

whose fate till today, has kept him alive
