Earthly Berth Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

It was decided on the day one when you had taken birth
The days count with precision is decided for earthly berth
It is neither philosophy nor any ideology linked with belief
Good reasoning out to an individual may temporarily render relief

It is common fact that single journey is to be taken
No one may come forward to help you even if your faith is shaken
It is to be pursued by person alone and with some satisfaction
Else there is simple danger of being taken away without any indication

The simple question must be asked by an individual
Is there any scope for him to play the dual role?
Can that help him to survive without hurting conscious?
Can he sustain the onslaught which is dangerous and vicious?

One should accept the fact and shape the course
There is no room left later on to lament or curse
You have been sent here with some noble mission
You may have ample time for its rejection or admission

You should never look helplessly at the sky
You should think of attaining brightness and try
One must try to come out of the bondage
Almighty has give enough time and room with privilege

You should never remain under any illusion
There should not be any type of confusion
You will be taken off the ground and flown
Your ideas and dreams may be simply blown

What you can honestly claim as your close associates?
The one who drives you to the walls hates?
Or the one who misguides you to fall in traps?
These all may be made known to you in steps

Nobody may sympathize at your cause
You were not meant for it as the case was
The pain, agony, hatred were to remain as your permanent enemy
You were not to remain happy and wear the look very gloomy




What could help you then to overcome the worldly sins?
How to emerge from it with clean wins?
Was that ever possible to continue with selfish world?
Were you armed with clear thoughts to be brave and bold?

The mountain peaks are covered with snow
No one knows the mystery and has ever tried to know
The ocean is very deep still remains calm and peaceful
We, the wicked human being only remain deceitful

The big fortune and wealth may not grant any happiness
The inner satisfaction may be reflected on the shining face
This will be real treasure that may grant you eternal peace
The rest of life may be spent with easiness and at ease
