Moon Lost Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

My moos is completely lost,
I don’t know at what cost,
But it is likely and most,
He is frozen like frost,

I am Fiza (name) and loved him,
Life took difficult turn and we decided,
Took vow to live together and reside,
Leaving all worries and tension beside,

He being very influential and powerful,
Ministerial berth but very honest and colourful,
Vowed never to desert and stay as one,
Not to worry for life and care for none,

He sacrificed luxurious living and position,
As I was only one for him and others out of question,
Though married to a woman but found me real,
Never lead happy life and more wounds to heal,

Life was full of challenge and danger to life,
But still preferred to be his companion and wife,
Left behind prestigious job and honour,
I took his word as promise and glamour,

We both converted to facilitate the marriage,
Names were ready for smooth carriage,
There was no problem so long it worked,
No one objected and no one poked

Things were not to stop at this,
So many things against and miss,
Both were ready to face any challenge,
But soon to face odd and revenge,

All sorts of pressure building and mounting,
Things look so different and hostile surrounding,
All signals indicated not good and sounding,
Hell was to let loose for marriage undoing,

Moon (name) looked desperate and loosing ground,
Remembered old wife and memories found,
Started behaving different as found no charm,
Thought of deserting and doing more harm,



Moon didn’t surface and darkness prevailed,
I had to leave and had to keep face veiled,
Moon had disappeared gone in hiding,
No words or promises any more binding,

I waited for long for his return,
He had gone forever by making U-turn,
I was crying and making futile efforts,
Lost his company and old good rapports,

I will not rest till he comes back,
Is this not treachery and deceit?
I had sacrificed too much after long wait,
I leave it for judgment and waiting for fate,

I received SMS for separation and divorce,
Was that not done under threat and force?
I take it as affront and insult,
Not leave him easily and lawyers consult,
