Uttarayan Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Uttrayan*

The Hindu mythology is full of stories
About natural objects
Their importance is always reflected in public mood
The tradition is surely understood

The sun may tilt towards north
The seas may start changing henceforth
The rays may straighten and days shall remain warm
It is natural cycle or an arm

May be it is centuries old tradition
Where kiting has become fashion
Whole of the population go up on roof
The kites shall be seen all over as proof

The bird lovers are worried
Many birds fall victims and carried
To nearby cure center
They are offered medical assistance

Scootorists and normal people also get hurt
The thread is boiled with glass power and it cuts
The throat when come in contact at high speed
Many people fall victims today and are seen dead

Many people take vows not to kite
On the contrary they go for religious rites
They offer charity to animals
Go for holy bath in river and offer hymns

Uttarayan: - Tilting of Sun to north
