[hometext] => This poem is all about how people should share their benefits. This poem talks about the good that one can earn by helping others.
[bodytext] => Gift to needy people, you consider worthy to dispense All else is void of good, seeking for recompense It`s bliss from heavenward path, yet to receive is ill But even if it`s a stop from heavens, to give is virtue still ‘I don`t give’, is never a high-born person`s reply He gives to those, who raise themselves, the cry The cry of person seeking for aid, yields scant delight Until one sees his face with grateful gladness delight Great! are those people, who hunger`s pangs sustain Greatest! people relieve hunger`s pangs, get a higher merit gain Let thou relieve the wasting hunger person and endure But thou finds, a treasure and gains the treasure-house secure For one, whose soul delights to share with hungry men, thou`s meal Never does the hand of hunger`s sickness wound should thy feel To delight and gladden human heart, if one does not know This unpitying person hoards thou`s wealth to lose it so? Keeping the garners full for oneself and board thou spread Will surely give greater pain to thyself than begging daily bread Bitter pain to die, but it`s sweeter than to live For one who finds nothing to give.
