Analysis of Arrogance
What is the man but creation of Almighty
For Him is the worship, Him belongs Deity
In the tempts of world, do not be indulged
What requisite is the man to be abide
Arrogance arose, an angel denied the order
And caused himself to be banished outside
Where rest Mongols, & kingdom of Pharaohs,
Tarquin of the Rome and Akbar's might?
All the mortals, the crew of immortal
None could escape, and none can hide
The taste in the buds & the mighty blazing ball,
No one could touch, and never put aside
But how exalted egos retain poor souls
Smaller would be mountain, & navy monster tide
How beloved would be, the tiny working bee
To never boast herself, for service of her life
Pearl for the lovers and earl of minds,
The true love demands concede inside
Humility, thus preferred, is my dear allies!
Well born spoiled themselves in pride
