And I Asked Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

How are you and where are you? ‘
Would you mind if I ask something to you?
Urge ran high so I asked you,
Do you think it right if I so ask you?

You were so nice and dear,
You are far away but still I could hear,
Pain is running high but I will have to bear
I can find no means to stay very near,

Did I try to displease or tried to offend?
I have lived so simple and also tried to mend
flowers and roses have found their way
I could find no easy way to offer or say

I dreamt about you and thought of your glamour
You may be as beautiful and delicate as flower
I wanted to ask you the same for an answer
I was hesitant to get reply from you however

I could make little imprint in the mind
I tried to draw different lines to find
Exact picture of you for my satisfaction
Still it was distinct possibility and out of question

I asked the one from you for simple reference
You were annoyed and drew different inference
You were averse to meet my demand
You gave cold reception and took me to remand

You declined for a simple photo,
Even I had no bad intention or motto,
still asked for a flicker,
But alas! You proved as tinker,

had it not been the business in your blood?
You would have rushed to me like flood
Since I was sincere and gentleman
You were acting s perfect business woman

Do you consider love as commodity?
Do you find nay use in its continuity?
I have always considered it as strong bond
I am like fish and can’t live without pond


It must result in happiness with a reality
It has to be reunion with rare quality
Let us not create any rift or look with farce
Let all heavenly bodies smile at us including



I have found in you always a rare treasure
it gives enjoyment which can’t be measured
Safety and security I always assure,
but you buckled under normal pressure,

what would happen next I don't know?
In a prayer I wish her happiness and bow,
Still it remains mystery for no reason
It can puzzle me more as person

You may stay calm and cool,
All will be fine and I only remain fool,
I wish it to happen sincerely
It will be good combination and considered rarely
