Introduction

Every human being is blessed with such organs as eyes, ears,
lips and hands. Human beings have also a heart to love and a

mind that gives them the ability to help others.

The poet says that one has to be grateful to the creator
for granting all such possessions. He suggests that a good
and positive use of the organs and the grace of the creator be
made.
