Defeat Hidden Victory

Sometimes I have to call myself wrong

So that someone s path becomes easy

Everyone has the right to speak the truth

But sometimes silence also becomes a prayer

When someone s peace passes through you

Then I have to smile even after breaking myself

He has won by understanding that he has won over me

And I have to make excuses for his victory

Real love is not just about touching

Sometimes you have to stay with someone even when you are far away

To make their tomorrow better

You have to hide your past within yourself

Life is not always won for yourself

Sometimes you have to give up your victory for someone else

That is the real victory 

When you have to win your heart even after losing

"Sometimes we have to prove ourselves wrong... Just so that someone can move ahead in life without any hesitation. It is not necessary to speak every truth, sometimes silence also becomes someone's victory. If someone's peace is hidden in your defeat, then that defeat also becomes a victory. The real purpose of life is not just to win... Sometimes leaving the path of victory for someone else is also a victory." (From the rooftop of silence… a heart speaks.)
