3. ARISE AND LISTEN, THE KNELL RINGS !















Do you hear the sound of bell
 That in the world continuously rings?
 Does it appear like the knell
 That we ourselves foolishly toll?
 Using a flute sweetly man sings 
The song of death that happens to us
 Hasten to death like beautiful flies
 Coming towards fire and loosing their wings! 
No hesitation for man to make a shore
 Of death and seems so aware, 
To rule that kingdom built for death 
And destroy the world and every one's breath. Nations become the godowns of weapons
Filled with bombs and fearful guns!
 Forget friendships, begin competition
 Not for goodness but for destruction. 
Many a pauper, sick and poor, 
Live in this world in unknown corner
 Skeleton of men with unfilled bellies,
 Lean cheeks and sunken eyes
 While the brains work without rest, 
And toil with atoms with untold zest, 
When we care too much for bombs 
Careful to feed those hungry stomachs.
 For what the nations sleeplessly contend? 
Is it to make the world confounded?
 God has given this beautiful land 
Not for destruction by man's hand. 
Each is making his own cell 
With all sufferings like in the hell
 End all this foolish fight 
Let the world be home of light.
