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
