*    has the test of time well stood*

TRUTH

*    (An Eternal Message From Kerbala)*

*    No brutal force 'gainst truth can work*

*    Truth will conquer, will not shirk.*

*    'Tis the greatest dike, to hold back sin*

*    The silencer, of the mundane din.*

*    The spiritual health, it will restore*

*    For moral wounds; 'tis a surest sure.*

*    Truth will strengthen sickly souls*

*    Plug, in the conscience, gaping holes.*

*    Truth, is not an elusive ghost*

*    'Tis, to the righteous, a constant host.*

*    Truth, in its exalted mood*

*    Is clearest mind's amplitude.*

*    "Infinite" is there in every man*

*    Immortalise "finite" it can.*

*    Truth, doesn't perish at death*

*    It does outlive the human breath.*

*    Redeemed, through truth, all can be*

*    XYZ and you and me.*

*    Truth, being infinitely great*

*    Both kings and beggars, upon it wait.*

*    Truth, individuals and Nations, makes*

*    An infinite joy in the task it takes*

*    Glows the universe, with its beams*

*    Sun and moon, are truth it seems.*

*    if the human perception's doors are clean*

*    In every beauty truth is seen*

*    Truth is proud, to know so much*

*    Its every move has wisdom's touch.*
