The Lowest Seat !

Make it when you are invited to a marriage feast,
Don't sit in the best seat, but seek to go to the lowest,
Someone more honourable might be invited for treat,
He who invited both of you,may come on his behest,
Tell you"Make room for this person"he might unseat.

You would begin with shame to take the lowest seat,
When you are invited go and sit in the lowest place,
He who invited you on seeing there he would greet,
"Friend move up higher " would shower on him grace,
Such honour amid those would enlighten his face.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
And whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
