Till Met With Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Till met with

What for all these activities?
When I have good abilities
To do justice for poor and destitute
With no principles to dilute

I might have remained
Totally unconcerned
For the plight of people
And for those unlucky individuals

I might have caused great harm
And warned them
Not to cross the way
I firm held ground and stayed

But conscious was awakened
And it hastened
To change the form completely
Even though it entered mind lately

The thought created furore
It was now question of honour
I wished to live as complete human being
To help out many and bring some happy songs

It rang many alarming bells
But I was determined to tell
That I am now for others
And completely resolved to alter self

The joy in inner chamber was heartening
Now it was no more threatening
The life seemed to be on adventurous path
I wished to continue till met with death
