My Pond In a Slum

My Pond in a slum

 

My pond will always be in a slum

to quench the thirst of my people

My garden will always be there

to spread shadow in all hot Noons

My home and my soul will always be there

to educate and to lift them in this world

Come my brothers to us unite in this task

to raise our nation in the world as mighty

These people have to speak and

these people have to go to peak

To keep the smile of our Mother

among all nations in the world

To protect Her glory and pride

keep them in your heart with love

Erase caste feelings from our kids and

feed the feel of brotherhood in their minds
