It Is Personal Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

It is my personal belonging
From childhood I was longing
To have fresh and old collection of books
Keep in nice cupboard and keep as stock

O knew very well that might remain in shelf
But knew too it will never reach to myself
I will have no time to refer
Forget about fresh books that may add with offers

The books are for adoration
Just to show people with its accumulation
I was reading previously and storing
Now it has become customary and boring

It shows great show of wisdom
That you are learned man and lived with freedom
You are widely read and creative
Books are your own refuge and relatives

Such is status of educated persons
They keep good books for various reasons
One is to have ready reference
And another is to show its lavish presence

In both the cases it is beneficial
It shows that you are real
Thorough with knowledge and reasonable
Any man would see to and think it as understandable

It is also considered as personal collection
Just like wikepedia store of information
Even though it might be lying there for many years
But for outsider it seems as knowledge bearers
