Soul's option!

Ishtiyaq 1964 (Karari)



O' Falsity! Thou art, steeped in tradition,
Generations lived and died in cardinal sin.
Live in untruth must neither you nor kin,
So, mind, heart, ears, and eyes – Open!

Truth! Is the ‘The One and Only' option,
Blind, bound live no more in a dungeon.
In mind, heart, ears, conscience; be open,
‘Hereafter,’ make life’s sole – Motivation!

Ishtiyaq

About this poem

Often, most of us live obliviously; busy and eternally occupied in the ‘Worldly’ rat race, we live and die spiritually deprived and depraved. My poem endeavors to jog the heart, mind, body, and soul to be alert, aware, conscious, and conscientious toward life’s spiritual goal.
