My Debts Poem by Abdul Wahab

Very lately I decided
Not to lend and not to borrow
Anything from anyone
I think this is very fair
And an attitude very balanced

Then comes the breathing air
And told me how much I owe
To her and to the drops of water
And to the grains of sand
Upon which in delight I run
And get the rays of the sun

My common sense slowly
Opens up and I understand
I am a man in much debt

I have not paid up the debt
I owe to my respected mother
I did not return either
The expenditure has done
By my father to bring me up

My senses now quickly
Open up and I understand
I am man in huge debt

I am immensely indebted
To my conscience
For not taking up actions
To pay back whose who
Have love and good will for me

I owe to my better sense, too
For not uttering befitting words
Against those who has done
Terrible wrongs against the weak
And sucked the blood of the poor.
