Is Life Blissful?
S. A. KHAYUM
God is one, concepts many,
Globe is one, seasons many,
Diversity triggers all activity,
Life is a chain of mobility.
What is animate and what is not
Is a problem baffled all;
What is life and what is not
Is a riddle never solved.
Existence is the firm reality,
Life is its conformity,
Diversity is its quality,
Death is its mobility.
Monoists called it all in one,
Dualists differed from them.
Mystics were mum,
Philosophers were shaky.
Faith springs from fear,
Fear from death,
Death from life,
Life is from desire.
Love, labour and
learning excess
Land us into distress;
Ignorance is injurious.
Religion reflects our aspirations
God is our companion
Tradition is our champion
Is God the Spectator?
Result, as we sow, so we reap.
Is man the cream of creation?
Is he the crown of nature?
Like all others he is
Born, bread and buried in clay;
He claims his soul is immortal,
Is not immortal soul concealed in clay?
