She is heard reciting eloquently in Hindi, “Smile if you have got defeated by someone. Maybe someone needed that victory more than you. Smile if something got lost. Maybe the person destined for that would have got it.”

People listening to her poem are seen smiling as she recites. “Smile if your heart is broken. Maybe somebody’s need to be broken for the union of some others. If sadness is still left in your heart, then spread the smile. Or if there is happiness, then follow the same process.”

She also urges people to be grateful and find happiness in everything they have. “Smile if you keep thinking-maybe this was better, that was better. Smile thinking what would have been the case if something worse had happened. Smile if you have a roof over your head, clothes on your body and food on your plate. If there is more than required, then share and smile,” she sings.

Clad in a white dress, the woman smiles and continues her poem, “Smile saying all you learnt in life is to smile. Smile even if you have to walk miles and miles. Smile if your glass is empty, you can fill it with your smile.”

The poem was recited by Nayab Midha and was shared on her YouTube channel on May 9. A Twitter user commented, “A masterpiece indeed.” Another user wrote, “Loved it a lot!!!! This made my Day!!! Muskurao.” A third user remarked, “Such a good poetry.”
