His
poems serve like clear crystal glass
Mirroring the problems of
suffering mass;
The stamp of his verse
lasts for long
His rhythm as sweet as a
lyric song
His characters act and
talk like living creatures
In brief his poems have
universal features.
He deems himself as the
greatest one
To compare with his
genius there is none.
2 He
breathes life in whatever he draws
His use of vibrant colors
draws applause
Right from his childhood
he did display
His painting skills and
his exceptional way;
Another Raphael or Titian
he thought
Of himself with his
original art self-taught.
He stunned his viewers' hearts with colorful dreams
As a greatest painter he
was held in esteem.
3 Rocky
boulders breathed life in his hand
He chiseled them into
splendid statues grand
In every temple and
palace his art is seen
Statues glistened with black,
smooth polished sheen
Sturdy rocks turned soft
by his matchless skill
Lively figures with
lovely curves inspiring thrill.
Another Michael Angelo or
Davinci himself he thought
Deemed himself as the
creator of superb art.
4 His
voice enchanted millions of souls
He thought he had reached
his long, cherished goal
His melodious voice
admired everywhere
Among his peers he has no
equal, beyond compare
He used his voice to earn
immense wealth and fame
He never thought from
whom his talent came.
He did not consider
singing glories of God
He sang only to admire
his kings and lords.
5 He
felt too much proud of his intellectual mind
Creating inventions
helpful to mankind
To achieve his goal, he
worked too hard
Making devices as others
applaud
He was proud of
conquering Nature
He was the greatest
scientists of noble stature.
Who is the greatest
scientist with fantastic art?
Who created this
wonderful world he never thought.
6 Being proud of a ruler of
mighty empire
He subjugated many kings and still aspires
To extend his sovereign rule with power immense
Without caring for loss of lives and huge expense;
He called himself as God and will not rest
He didn’t care others and did what he deems as best
He did not realize the source of his mighty power
To glorify himself he built many huge towers.
7 Power and wealth pollute many in fact
As very few for welfare righteously act
We forget the real source
of power within
And add credit to
ourselves, an ignorant sin
Our efforts to
immortalize ourselves is vain
Almighty Time wipes out
all with disdain
Neither our power nor
wealth last ever long
Before Almighty God, our
powers strong.
8 Men are easily puffed up with
ignorant pride
Unaware of inner source
who really guides
Mistaking the shell for
the egg we deem
We think ourselves as
doers as it seems;
Who is the real doer who
gives credit and fame
To us though we exist
only by name;
The real subject, object
and verb are all-in-one
Without His omniscient
presence we are none.
