God Neither Known Nor Loved By The World

Which shall be loudest in our Maker's praise!
In quest of some forlorn retreat I rove,
For all the world is blind, and wanders from his ways.

My Idol(ms. Twinkle Dua)
One who always is the best,
Who takes me to a beautiful fest.

Her smile and nature is her best feature.

Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn.

Lead to the painted portal--where one knocks :
