Mystery Of Life Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Mystery of life
Sunday,30th May 2021

Think of good
the meaning shall be understood
it is not that difficult
life has an inbuilt message

you were neither a Hindu
nor a Muslim who spoke Urdu
Christian identity was not born
but people spoke about torn life

slowly, you gained knowledge
and learnt how to edge out
but time ran out from your end
you felt the imminent end

what a pity!
neither you understood an almighty
nor you ever sought mercy
only you wanted to be wealthy

you have it now
but don't know how?
it to carry along
you were proved wrong

the only soul was to travel
leaving behind all
no one to accompany
but to weep and feel sorry

life is not the bundle of lies
but to try
for unfolding the mystery
and take shelter or cover from an almighty
