Kazi Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Kazi* used to be known as religious man
Fully conversant and competent person
Everybody may go to him for advice
He may have with him ready made device

Many legendary tales are on
Still memory and stories about him have not gone
Whole village may respect his family members
It was all due to mark of respect as juror

Once his dog died due to illness
The news spread across
Whole of village turned for funeral
The burial rites were passed on oral

Such nice man got ill
He was not recovering well
One day he died and left for another world
Whole of village got upset and developed cold

Now they thought as Kazi* is dead
Let us not take that much lead
Few people can go and attend
There is no one left to feel offended

Such stories are still on
They are circulated and often shown
The importance of being tall person
And there after treatment meted upon

* Kazi… learned person
