I Must Stay Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I am coming out of youth
The wind is blowing from south
I smell its fragrance and enjoy
Dream about world with enormous joy

The sea is posing me formidable challenge
I think that I shall be able to manage
I am unable to measure its deepness
But of course it may be stiff challenge to face

I can see no end as vision gets blurred
It doesn't reach far end when shared
Only blue waters reflect sun shine
That reminds me of very much tough time

I have no means to cross
Yet with many ideas to suppose
I have an aim to venture over waves
Even with no available means to dare

I am briefed about vast treasure beneath
But how to explore even at the cost of death!
Sea may not allow me to reach at the bottom
It might have been tried sever times but successful seldom

I never get disheartened
As so far nothing has threatened
I am of the firm opinion with strong wish
The sea is meant for me and I must reach

I have small boat to sail
With no gadgets to get help if on the way failed
No directional help except with flow of wind
I am still hopeful of many things to find

I may be lost on the way
I may be even drifted away
Still I hold the hope of bright ray
Life is meant for me and I must stay
