Lie And Canard Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

It is blatant lie and canard
No one is allowed to say a word
Especially for a saint and father of nation
How can such lies are spread for any such relation

A lie can not become truth
Thousands of tales can not prove
A father of nation may live in our heart
We were give new light to start

How a nation can build reputation?
Can meet aspirations and live unto expectations
We need not show progressive world what we did
They have their axe to grind and find no lead

A legendry figure and respected world over
He needs no mention or special cover
The sun and its image can not be tarnished
They will stand high even if whole world is finished

Let historians search in relevant context
It should not be based to malign the text
In other countries it might have created bloodshed
At home we are fully aware and properly fed

Such books should not find even mention
It does great harm and spoils the relation
Modern world does not allow spread of hatred
When people are staving for the want of bread

Let us play constructive and true role for humanism
It has no place for gossips and criticism
The national sentiments should never be hurt
It is worst than insulting friend or throwing the mud
