******************************************

जळणारी ती ज्योत विझवते सारा अंधकार ।
दिसत नही जळतांना वात आतली
दिसतो तो फक्त ज्योतीचा प्रकाश ।

आयुष्याचे पण तसेच असते
नाही फरक फार ।
दिसत नही जळतांना व्यक्ति
दिसतो तो फक्त त्याच्या यशाचा प्रकाश ।

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The flame that burns in the dark
removes the blackness around.
You don't see the wick inside burning,
but just the bright light of the flame.

Life is also so much like that,
there's not much difference you see.
It's your success that everyone sees around,
not the person burning inside who achieves.
