Ordinary Life: A Poem by Azra Mughal
Introduction
- The charm of ordinary life often goes unnoticed in a world driven by:
- Ambition
- Material success
- This poem beautifully captures the essence of finding joy in life’s simple moments:
- Be it a home
- Cooked meal
- A small room makeover
- Or the sight of bustling streets
The Beauty of Ordinary Life: Finding Joy in Simplicity
We are innocent souls,
Finding happiness in the little things.
We do not own vast estates,
Nor do we possess great wealth.
Yet, a simple change in our room’s setting
Brings us pure joy.
We never nurtured sky-high dreams,
Nor chased after the impossible.
If something delightful is cooked at home,
We savor it with contentment.
Our dreams were never displayed
In grand shopping malls.
A secondhand jersey from the thrift shop
Fills our hearts with happiness.
We never dreamt of touring the world
Or indulging in extravagant events.
Yet, watching the city streets bustling with life
Brings us sheer delight.
Our dreams are simple,
And their meanings are humble.
Even if they remain unfulfilled,
We still find new reasons to smile.
Final Thought
- Happiness doesn’t always come from:
- Wealth
- Luxury
- Or grand aspirations
- Sometimes, it’s hidden in the smallest of joys.
- This poem is an ode to the beauty of ordinary life, proving that contentment lies in appreciating what we already have.
