Promise are to keep & hold it with dignity,
Enlighten beings sacrifice life there,
Rather than breaking promises,
Nobel are the person who hold promises.

Taking refuge in supreme teacher,
Promising to follow all instructions,
How much difficult it may be but fails to follow,
Where are those promises we kept.

When young & studying,
promised to look after age old parents,
Upon growing & mastering busy enjoying,
Forgotten are the promises of yesterday.

Couple up with one we love,
Stay together & promise to be faithful & loyal,
Having extramarital affairs behind each other,
Gone are the promises of love.

To hide a lie have to,
Tell two lies & to cover up two,
Prepared four lies & multiply,
Speak truth to hurt than thousand lies to keep happy.
