A Desert Ship Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The camel is considered as desert ship
It provides human being a very good companionship
What are we delivering in our friendship?
The customary service and merely speaking through lips

The ships take us to safe end or to destiny
It is always with the blessings from the almighty
It is safest means to complete the journey
It may turn tragic but remains always funny

It is guiding vessel that sails on rough sea
We feel safe and secure as if under shade of tree
It is one kind of unknown bonding
It may not have at all any condition or loading

When you talk of friendship it is one kind of sacrifice
It supplements the need or suffices
It is blind trust and good faith
It survives till the end of journey or death

Why animals create so much attachment with human beings?
Do they want anything in return other than kept as well beings?
It is purely an arrangement that needs no explanation
It has got something new in relation

The relationship lasts long if it has got durability
There is no chance for temporary or mobility
If that can work on then it serves the purpose
It is simple act for trust to repose

The friendship can be between anybody
Not necessarily you got to be somebody
It is invisible bond that may strengthen
It will go deep and become solid then

Friendship can never be barrier
It is very good medium or carrier
We can’t live without it for moment
It is God gift and heavenly sent

How does the heard of sheep walk in one direction?
There is no attachment or bon in their action
It is blind following and rudderless mission
No bad feelings or set backs for admissions


It is routine for them to follow
We, for certain reasons, can’t allow
We got to think and take care
It may come in any condition from anywhere

You may deceive your enemy with full knowledge
You may resort to any steps to prove clear edge
You may it out till the end of your age
You may relentlessly pursue and wage

This is not done in real relation
It is matter of pride and good indication
It is always for individuals to understand
One must think wisely and take stand

Ships can sail smoothly on good will
The spirit behind it no one can kill
It may survive the longest test
We should try for it and to the best
