THE SHAFT OF LIGHT

why this or that, thou dost everything, leave nothing 
Net result : findeth anguish and despair in everything 
So, sitteth amidst company to 'hear each other's' groan 
Finally moaneth aloud as though thou art one in moon 

Hasn't the wisdom ever dawned on thy mind? 
Dost thou not try for the reason to find? 
If done, findeth desire's the cause of suffering 
Should you killeth, it there can't be suffering.

When the medicine for the ailment's known 
And the doctor's prescribed the drug renown 
Why doth thou delayeth to cure it straight away 
Landeth by procrastination away far far away.

Let Satan desire be thy target, pulverise it soon 
Scatter it anon and keep the atoms apart forlorn 
And let not two particles confine anywhere anytime 
Lest like phoenix they procreate millions in no time.

If killeth that cankerous desire, thou art assured ¹Kaivalya 
Blesseth it Nirvana making thy earthly sojourn a ²saphalya 
Mark it ! thou art freed from the shackles of ³punarjanma 
This shaft of Light of Asia's the quintessence of ⁴Hindu Dharma.
