Real Poet In Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Real poet

There is no going back
When country finds existence at stake
Who may come to the rescue?
Only by person who has witnessed clear views!

I said so often
And was driven
By his simple utterances
And they were not merely by chance

He has heard
Songs of patient words
Poverty witnessed so closely
And patriotism ran in veins constantly

Right from serving family
To the serious thought of nationality
He was natural poet
Who sang for motherland quietly?

He was made for different destiny
So he mixed with nationalists occasionally
Then this became his habit regularly
Now he was nationalist fully

The country needed man of compassion
Who could read people's aspiration?
He devoted his full time in the services of nation
And now we can see poet in him with real devotion
