Analysis of Beware

Ishtiyaq 1964 (Karari)



‘Beware’ ‘HIS’ final adjudge!

O' Visionary! Be not blind,
To ‘The Truth,' be aligned.
Oft, blatant assumption,
Clearly blinds the vision.

Ne’er ever lose sight,
‘Hereafter’ be aright.
Live not in assumption,
Die not in cardinal sin.

Judge, jury, prosecution,
Refrain from falsification.
Of innocence, in ignorance,
And, bereft be of arrogance.

If you’re the one to judge,
Be fair; hold no grudge.
‘The Truth’ ne’er fudge.’
‘Beware’ ‘HIS’ final adjudge!
