Ask For Self And Justify Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I ventured to ask self and justify
It did not give me any reason to satisfy
I never attempted or tried to defy
I felt so remorseful and tried to cry

I felt from inner most soul
There must be something wrong or foul
How an outer beauty can have so much importance?
It created confusion in mind at once

I was praised with many words
They even added it was blessing from the lord
I had seen many people with ugly faces
They were liked by many and in very good race

It baffled me day and night
Was my assertion very right?
Did it really matter with pretty look?
Or was it gimmick played by crook?

There was some substance behind
I was in mood and desaparate to find
I wanted to go into depth and realize
It was for self consumption and oblige

It is logical with such things to arise
It is not altogether any surprise
It had existed even long before
In one or other way it may come to the fore

We are clever human being
We may not fall in line or simply sing
We will not be carried away simply
We have all the reason and to asses it amply

I stood before the mirror
There was absolutely no error
From every angle I looked handsome
Still the thoughts were proving troublesome

It was not bad at all to feel very strange
But some solution was to be found and managed
It was for personal satisfaction
I preferred strong answer and no inaction

It weighted in favor of argument
Not the outer look was real assessment
It had no meaning if you were cruel but handsome
It was not benefiting to any but only to some

People may move around you with selfish motives
This may include your friends and close relatives
It is clearly known that you are meant for something else
The impression created by them is totally false

It frightened with the logical conclusion
There remained no more confusion
People were living standard life with honor
They were being highly treated with beautiful flowers

It adds to the existing personality
If you are gifted with outer beauty
It will give you some additional respect
You will be highly respected for your noble act

If these facts are know to you?
It will prove later on very true
You will face no criticism for being impolite
You will be known by your quality and right
