Strictly Known Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Strictly known

Let there be peace and calm
There is no harm
If we choose restrained brotherhood
That is needed I neighborhood

Look back at history
We have misplaced glory
The nation remained powerful
When it was self sufficient and resourceful

Why our eyes turn?
On territory of nation
That is not in position to defend!
And still threatened

People never want skirmishes
Not even border clashes
Trade must flourish
Prosperity must be sent across

At the same time be vigilant
And keep watch constant
People should not be allowed in the disguise of artists
We need no such broad kindness

They come and go
Not allowed and blow
Their nefarious tune
We should be strictly known
