Motivational Shayari

Mat Soch Ki Tera Sapna Kyun Poora Nahin Hota,
Himmat Walo Ka Irada Kabhi Adhura Nahin Hota,
Jis Insaan Ke Karam Acche Hote Hain,
Uske Jeevan Me Kabhi Andhera Nahi Hota.
मत सोच की तेरा सपना क्यों पूरा नहीं होता,
हिम्मत वालों का इरादा कभी अधूरा नहीं होता,
जिस इंसान के करम अच्छे होते है,
उसके जीवन में कभी अँधेरा नहीं होता।
