God Knows Him Better Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Neither black nor white he is a brownie.
Neither tall nor short, an average height.
With only four teeth remaining on the upper jaw,
and twelve more on the lower jaw.
As he remained clean shaved in the past, his beard is white,
Though half of the hairs have fallen but remaining are mostly black,
He was never fat, he was lean and still he is lean,
His brain a day dreamer and what he dreams?
Leave it, let it be known to the God only.
Yes, he believes in a God!

Throughout his life he remained a mediocre,
he was never outstanding in any of his fields,
a man of no great deeds but no big misdeeds as well.
Survival of a heart attack but the attack was mild,
Diabetic but sugar remains within the tolerable limits,
Sometime hates but soon he regrets his hate,
Never won anything in gambling,
when fell in love how he won a beloved?
Leave it, let it be known to the God only.
Yes, he believes in a God!

Commits something wrong, and waits for the revenge of nature,
He becomes a field of a traditional tussle of two Angels,
The Angel from the left attacks with the fires,
The Right Angel repels it and says for a mediocre not so much fire,
Reduce the temperature lower down the flames,
The left Angel being junior follows the commands,
lower down more, says the right Angel, it'll extinguish, he left one.
The fire extinguishes, with what he comes back to his average life?
Leave it, let it be known to the God only.
Yes, he believes in a God!

Fortune never helped him but he remained safe from the misfortunes,
When played cricket he batted at number six, scored useful runs,
when he bowled couldn't capture ever wickets more than three,
but he very well plays the cards game of hearts,
a negative game in that a player with the lowest points wins,
I wonder how quickly he wins a beating heart!
I wonder how quickly he wins a return smile!
I wonder how he wins forgiveness of his God!
Leave it, it is known by his God only.
But, he believes in a God!
