Badi mushkil se koi subah muskurati hai,
Gham ki har shaam dabe paon chali jaati hai.
Waqt lagta hi nahin zindagi badalne mein,
Par badalne mein waqt, zindagi lag jaati hai.
In the concluding verse of his speech, he referred to the vision of a safe, healthy, civilised and prosperous society in the state. He said that the government’s working style is inspired by a philosophy of life, and expressed his sentiments in these words:
Baat anmol bahut hai ye zindagi ke liye, bata raha hoon falsafa main har kisi ke liye.
Ponch sakte ho to dukhiyon ke ponch lo aansu, na jiyen aap faqat apni hi khushi ke liye.
