Ode To the People's Monarch

The Land of Thunder Dragon, The blest estate of saviour Guru Rinpoche; The Last Shangri-la reigned by prophesied Wangchucks lineage; Mighty Palden Mahakaley,the redeemer of the Dragon Power, Sacred constitution,the holder of peace and order; Graceful Jekhenpo,the guardian of religious theology Ye all, the drums,the flute and the trombone bring, Yellow and orange drangon flag spreads the peace of wings; Gleeful fairies and deities join to crown His King, Ere,pay I submit my sublime bow, With words and hearts with full devout I avow Song of mirth and serenity we sing and share to the whole beings Oh,mighty Geser Gyelpo,on the magninoumous throne thou shines, Showering compassion and happiness from thy heart sublime The king of might and wise,Drukpas beacon of hope, Who strives for the welfare of all,the real Pope Thou espoused humanity, decency and love for all Bhutan,the land of minute Eden we enthrall Bhutan,the land of Gross National Happiness, Unity leading to the Land of tranquil loveliness, Come ye! Afar, Nightingale, sing thine song of victory; Far and wide,the great musicians play their song of happiness admiringly Hark! Thunder Dragon singing above, Magnificent light sending his happiness and love, The pristine greenery and serenity of nature sways gleefully ; Soaring skylarks flourish the tune of peace cheerfully, Here, the young poet,graciously inking his cordial gratitude , Where none can ink and pen his line in verisimilitude, It's from his unclouded heart that speaks the truest delight Bring the clarinet,trumpet and saxophone Let's sing and play your triumphant Upon thy ascendant we present our earnest acknowledgment To honour His Gesar and his throne With equity and tranquillity this nation will breath Under the magninoumous reign of His King we sheath Grandeur,thou my potent King, Thine charismatic reign continues to gleam like endless ring May the people be blessed forever With our clean body,mind and speech, We offer you the prayers. This poem,I dedicate to the 5th King of Bhutan,coinciding with the Coronation Day of HM Khesar.
