Own Perception Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

People have their own perception
As it is going on since long from the inception
If we do not learn it from the first reception
How can we claim ignorance or exception?

It is age old saying that eyes do not reveal wrong?
You can not cheat anybody by singing a song
If you have mastery over eyes and tongue
You can mesmerize any one when nicely sung

When you are fully lost in love and think nothing
It is likely to take you for acid testing
It may prove fatal or end in blessings
So one must ensure nothing remains behind as missing

Anybody may manipulate it for anything
It is alright so long we don’t dream on wings
If we choose to sink regardless of result
The strong base can not be built

Love means sacrifice and nothing in return
It may take anytime worst or ugly turn
No one can blame it as blind faith
It will hurt you even at the time of death

You will have to take pledge
That you will endure full age
Nothing may stop you from going near
Even if that may cause so much fear

Love is meant to be lost for ever
To live in another world and nothing to hear
No noise, no disturbance of any kind
You will go deep with clear conscience in mind

Let there be no different message in eye
Let the tongue slip away and try
Yet the essence of love must remain same
You catch it from any direction it has come
