पानी में अक्स देखकर Sitting by a calm, peaceful lake

पानी में अक्स देखकर ख़ुश हो रहे थे हम
पत्थर किसी ने मार कर मंज़र बदल दिया 


Paani me aqs dekh kar khush ho rahay thay hum
Patthar kisi nay maar kar manzar badal diya 

Imagine you are sitting by a calm, peaceful lake - enjoying watching a clear image of yourself in the quiet and still waters. 
Suddenly, someone throws a small rock in the lake - and the whole lake is disturbed. 
The ripples move across the lake, and your image also shakes along with the waters and gets distorted. 
Whose fault is it? 
Is it the rock - or the one who threw the rock in?
Is it the weakness of the lake? 
That its water was not quiet and still enough? That the lake could not handle its waters well? 
I think rather than trying to find something or someone to place blame on, its more important to find a solution - how to go back to that calm and peaceful situation again.
Everyone gets disturbed by the distortions - it is natural. 
However, the important thing is how quickly we can calm our minds and go back to a peaceful state again.
