The worldly Pleasures

          Jag kay Bhog-Vilaas to Alp-Viraam hain 

          Santosh aur Aabhaar hee Poorn-Viraam hain 

Alp-Viraam         = Comma

Poorn- Viraam   = Full Stop, Period

The worldly pleasures are like commas,

Contentment and Gratitude are the full stop

                          ~~~~~~~~~~~

A comma means a small pause in a sentence - 

and the sentence continues after the pause.

Whereas a full stop or a period means the end of that sentence.

The pleasures of the world are like commas.

Though they can provide short-term happiness 

But then, the same restlessness - the same feeling of emptiness comes back - 

and again - the urge to get some more or something new awakens. 

Only gratitude and Contentment can bring long-lasting Peace - 

Not worldly joys and pleasures.
