How Good It Is Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

How good it proves to be revengeful?
When it does not as successful
There is no other option but to change the style
As world is not inclined to wait for meanwhile

Revengeful attitude may turn you ungrateful
That will bar your entry as successful
People may keep you at safe distance
You may be neglected often and not at once

The river water may always flow
Keep water clean and silently go
Never harm anybody when so cool and silent
But don’t spare either when in spate and hell bent

Knowledge and treasure are like weapons
They are not merely issued as coupons
That remains with men for longer period
Its misuse can be clearly seen and one must try to avoid

You use it on poor and it becomes curse
Whole life you may repent it with curse
That may not allow you sound sleep
Even if you try to retain it or keep

More you distribute it grows larger in size
This can only be done by cleaver and wise
Fools and stupid may use it to their advantage
They may live like animals even with passing of an age

So one has to change as when fortune strikes
Needs to be proven that nobility is not at all stake
Knowledge is to be passed on for future generation
That may in turn build sound and stable relation

Wealth multiplies and knowledge doubles
No one knows when it may disappear like bubbles
If it is made best use of for welfare in time
The humanity and poor may not suffer sometimes

There is no use if knowledge is used as leverage
Others need not be pulled down if they are underage
They may gain excellence in days to come
Their contribution as whole must always be welcome

Strengthen and consolidate with whatever you have
Beautifully present when time comes and behave
It may earn not only reputation but good name too
You may be known by what you have been or passed through
