Spare Us Knowingly Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Spare us knowingly

Develop tendency
That shows sympathy
Towards fellow men
With resolve to go on

Neither we shall be able to remove poverty
Nor remain trust worthy in the eyes of an almighty
What are we then doing on this beautiful earth?
Eating and merry making for peaceful death

What shall accompany you at final hour?
Does anything fall on your ears?
Does the divine call ever whisper?
If so, then I shall definitely differ

No one has learnt lessons
May be for various reasons
The why are we making last cry?
At the time of departure why?

We simply offer excuses by saying
We are normal human beings
W shall make errors unknowingly
But God should spare us knowingly
