On Your Part Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

It was greatness on your part
You ignored it from the start
I was proving difficult and wild
You laughed it out with cool mind

My behavior was almost childish
I did not allow it to finish
You were forced not to complete
As I disliked they way you tried to compete

I suffer from intolerance
I react strongly always in somebody’s presence
It cuts through my image and reputation
All chances are ruined and eye brows are raised with questions

It is expected or customary to remain polite in every field
This may help you to exert influence or yield
You are not driven to the inhospitable terrain
Everybody is in agreement with you and your brain

You are not only a good friend but mentor
Nice advisor and good commenter
I shall rush to you for any help
You will render it without caring for self

It was my earnest desire to fall in line
You were considerate and very fine
I had made every attempt to woo
As it was beneficial and proving true

I am little hot headed and very impatient
My reaction comes on the spot and very instant
This infuriates everybody and I am being targeted
“Stupid, ungrateful” and so on for me to be equated

I remain unwanted in most of the functions
I have heard to such talks or instructions
It is complete lack of affinity with any individual
The disliking should be minimal and even casual




I may be unceremoniously sometimes targeted to fun
They may have the wrong notion with idea to make me on run
I understand it but refuse to surrender under any pretext
As it is and clear to me that they are very far from fact

I have some reservation on certain things to some extent
Everybody is free to think and pass the reasonable comment
It must be made amply clear in mind that it should not cause any hurt
Else it will be construed as malice amounting to throw mud or dirt

No individual is that foolish to catch the fire
Who will not want to be dear eye or be admired?
It is not important how you behave in polished manner
But how you react to the criticism and sinner

I had loved quality of yours all along
Even though I was proved on many counts wrong
You had helped me to overcome some shortfalls
It was impregnable and difficult high wall
