By Virtues Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Man looks great by his virtues
He bears fruit but pays the dues
His heart is wide enough to view
The plight, agony and hunger of few

The almighty has given big position
For person of great caliber and ambition
Either he inherits by birth to the top position
Or rises by creating space for self in relation

Why some of the people are called great statesmen?
Why are they remembered as noble and human?
They were called as such for their bravery and valor
They had died for the cause and lived with honor

Common man lives for family alone
He need not worry about weather and cyclone
The king concerns for welfare of entire state
He represents masses and shapes their fate

The legend says” King does no wrong”
He may be only one among
He is known by his adventures and qualities
Super among ordinary human with high calibers
