la vie est belle!

I do not know the poet for this piece, but I came across it recently on a friend's site. The poet paints glorious picture of life and gives some wisdom as to how one can make it beautiful. A rough translation is provided:

It is said, life is beautiful,
Yes indeed,
Life is simple and beautiful.
If you ponder upon its beauty,
If you behold the "full half,"
If you shun
the spiteful thoughts of tomorrow,
If you set your gaze upon the light,
and no longer ponder upon darkness,
If you sow the seeds of love,
If you water the flower of friendship,
If you part with the thoughts of the past,
If you cherish love,
If you cherish friendship,
Yes indeed,
Life is beautiful!


گفته اند زندگی زيباست
آری، آری
زندگی آسان و زيباست
گر بيانديشی به زيباييش
گر ببينی نيمه پر را
گر ز خود دور کنی
انديشه های زشت فردا را
گر کنی بر روشنايی روی
گر نيانديشی به تاريکی
گر بذر محبت را بيافشانی
گر دهی آب گلهای رفاقت را
گر برون از دل کنی انديشه بگذشته را
گر بداری پاس عشق را
گر بداری پاس دوست را
آری ، آری
زندگی زيباست
