Listen to the voice (Addressed to youth)
M H Khan
You are neither a child nor an adult
Renew, refresh and maintain
A clarion call
Go all of you
Where there is ache and hue
You are not stocks and stones
Better to wear out than to rust
You owe to dredge gold dust
Oh! Muscles of iron
And nerves of steel
Down on luck
Pell-mell you struck
You dared to gainsay milk bottle
You dared to validate sauce alcohol
Thousands demanding instant attention
To shut off mewl, cry and tension
Your clarity, wisdom and strength
Switched over to opacity, folly and frailty
You are gone off the track
Damn! You pitched into vitriolic acid attack
Things you have heard
Just in case, just in case
A leader of future is leader of now
Time still to come, time arrived now
All prawns, patsies and proxies
Will met a good wallop to freeze
Listen to the voice, O, dream of tomorrow
Feed the hungry, clothe the naked
Nurse the sick and serve the sufferer
Respond to the call
May you never be caught in brawl?
