Love To Read Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Love to read

I may be poor
Reading books that shall be dear
Not within reach to buy
Then also I shall try

My poor state is acceptable
It is causing no trouble
To tension in mind
But leads to strong will and find

What is use?
If I am given whole kingdom
But denied good books in room
And least interest with books of wisdom

I shall refuse such crown
And own
Simple hut
With earth as seat

I would love to read
And adhere to what has been said
Or written with keen interest
It is for me to endure test
