Not Last Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

It was not last but first
When I tried to rest
Nothing succeeded like acid test
But something was coming out as best

There were positive signals
In batches I received their arrivals
Like Siberian cranes they landed
Smiled at me and befriended

It gave me all I wanted
All rules are to be flouted
How I wish it could be true
It may stay longer too

I got some indication
It had some relation
Otherwise why earth always wanted
Beautiful songs aired and chanted

It may shower and wet the earth
That feeling may remain till then death
Who may know the message behind?
I must try and earnestly find

Am I caged in beautiful place?
From where I daily see the beautiful face
If that is prison sentence offered
I will never dispute and differ

I wish to fly back and remain with
She is all that I want and don’t wish to crush the grip the teeth
I shall smile in open under sky
There is not much to left and ask why
