A Guilt To Feel Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Do we feel guilty if something wrong has been done?
Can that be addressed with remorse alone and be undone?
What can satisfy others even if we regret and apologize?
Can’t we forget it from our mind and happily summarize?

It is easy to hurt some body and have satisfaction
This is reflection of sick mind and is real indication
You can’t judge a person form his out look and trust
He needs to be understood in depth and it is must

I may not do it myself to anybody
Why at all I should hurt to somebody?
Ultimately what I may get in return?
One day I may be fixed in turn

God doesn’t spare anybody for ill will
He has to pay it here and suffer still
No one may come to his help or rescue
You may get everything that is overdue

If ever you can think of doing something good
Trust me; it will be sign of promise from God
It doesn’t occur to anybody at any time
It is special feeling emanating from at critical time

Inwardly I felt something has gone wrong,
I felt isolated and far from being relatives or among,
Not at ease at all to breathe with strength
Weakness surface and unable to go at any length

Something I committed which my conscious did not allow,
I should have acted wise but did not follow,
Carried away by temptation which shouldn’t have been?
I showed so much interest that I was so keen

It is making me nervous,
Reason may not be true but looks obvious,
I was never trapped before or previous
As I was claimed to be true and pious,

No one has seen or established my guilt,
It is conscious mechanism in built,
Any good and gentleman will feel its pulse
Temptation and greed will have to be repulsed

Heart may not obey,
Mind will not rule and sway,
Presence of mind will take you away,
Only physical presence may remain and stay,



It will constantly bite,
Darkness may over rule light,
Weakness may be encroached with might,
Defeat may be conceded without offering fight,

Forever you may feel easily trapped or laid,
May not feel attentive when good words are said,
It will continue to hurt you more and more,
You admit it openly and pray HIM just before,

You may have sound sleep and joy,
No more guilt but cheers and enjoy,
Immediate redressal relieve the worry,
Need not feel shame and not to say sorry
