Chalk out a meticulous program
Build via sweat-flood hope-dam
Let not your efforts be sham
Ban medicines even a milligram
You must do regular exercise
Protect body like protecting eyes
Not because others may praise
But because your health will be nice
Praying, walking and cycling
Are exercises to which you cling
Tryst with peace, you will be signing
A perfect life, you will be defining
Praying strengthens your mind
In walking patience you find
Your youth, Cycling will remind
On the whole your soul gets refined
Use both fine morning and lovely evening
Health’s benefits, you will be learning
On prayer and exercise keep leaning
Your life will carry a new meaning
All intake of medicines, gradually cut
Acquiring health is a very hard-nut
With sweat make your body healthily wet
Health is the most important asset
Do exercise without any expectation
It may involve hard and tough repetition
Acquire a hard-worker’s adorable reputation
Soon from body, disease will suffer amputation
Anyhow practice always perfect moderation
Otherwise ill-health may bring botheration
Do exercise for a reasonably fixed duration
Intake of food also you must shrewdly ration
Let God-faith form a firm root
Let your hope nothing loot
For your efforts to bear fruit
You must travel in an honest route
God is your true guide and friend
To your wants, He will surely attend
Your knees, go before Him and bend
To all the souls, your love you extend
