Handwritten poem titled Abstain by Abiha Zehra, Class 8 A1, Udaya Public School

Abstain from things that cause you harm,
Choose the path that keeps you calm.

Say no to anger, hate and lies,
let truth and kindness make you wise.

Do not follow wrong or greed,
Help the poor and those who need.

Control your mind, be good and wise,
leave bad habits far behind.

Walk with courage every day,
let goodness guide you on your way.

A clean heart shines like a gentle rain,
A happy life comes when we abstain.
