The Panchamahabhutas

By Siddhali Pharaskhanewala

Mountains, Rivers and the Sunshine
Together we can see a spiritual divine
Taking us near to nature and giving us joy
Dad, Because of you, we are spiritually hoy

A source to stay an rest in a house
It is as pure and auspicious like a desi cow
Our house is a copy of the above anaphor
Dad, Because of you, it is still like a camphor

It gives us provision of inhaling air
It makes us feel safe by its care
Mom, the one who carried us for nine months
Dad, Because of you both, we got love in tons

The source is none other than Mother Earth
On which, by which, because of which, we get birth
Mom is always there as a support to hide behind her
Dad, Because of you, we learnt how to concer

Fire gives us spirit, fire gives us light
It is the only one who stays till a human's last rights
You inspired us, you encouraged us always
Dad, Because of you, all obstacles gone away

That's the beautiful sky with millions of stars
Which we are polluting by continuous wars
You made us dream big, you made us work hard
Dad, Because of you, we got to know how to guard

Earth, Air, Water, Space and Fire are the key basis
That is taught to us right from birth by our Rushi-Munis
All the necessary knowledge that is required to live
Dad, Because of you, we were able to achieve

These are the Panchamahabhutas, the truth of life
Their existence their importance, we rarely realise
You carry the same importance in our lives
Dad, Because of you, we got so many smiles
