Your Pardon Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I beg your pardon
Though it takes place seldom
I might have erred
Still your blessings need to be conferred

You are not only great
But decider of my fate
Before it is too late
Bestow me with your kindness and checkmate

I come to you when engulfed with confusion
I pray sincerely when body is deep under immersion
All my dirty ideas get washed and emerge as pure soul
I take resolve not to enter part in unholy game or commit foul

I consciously cheat self still plead for ignorance
I have no intention of looking back or have glance
I leave behind dirty tail and still seek mercy
Bow silently, offer prayers with good oratory and fluency

I know you are there to pardon me for any crime
Only I have to solemnly pledge that it was not my good time
I was carried away by compelling situation
The wrong intention was never there and rule out of question

“Come to me for any of problems” you once said
I have full faith in it and foundation is strongly laid
I can have little excuse in committing mistakes
Even though there may be nothing or little at stake

I can prevail upon my emotions
Though all the evils may be kept in motion
I shall pledge not to repeat or adhere to
Strictly follow the ethics and go through

I console the self that now I am armed with enough
Excuses that can morally strengthen me without further laugh
I have some basic reasons on which to make the case
Even though there is little hope for weak base

I am for sure to get the reprieve
As I have full faith and do believe
In His divine powers and reach
I deserve some sympathy even if it is breached

I think of those sufferings undergone
Still not revenged and forgiven
It is greatness and that has influenced my thoughts
So I have submitted as it has been taught

I can not cheat anybody by playing simple game
Everybody knows where to bow and pass the blame
I have little hesitation in pleading the cause
I am to be blamed for everything as per the case


I may have only one satisfaction when come out from your refuge
I shall take fresh pledge not to indulge in or refuse
A simple resolve to obey and fall on stated lines
I have full faith and belief that in the end it may prove fine
