Song of Hyderabad

a poem by Lakshminarayana K

Sons and lovers and skilful creatures
Brighten this city with hi-tech features,
May you grow rich where toil you all
Speed up the progress in disciplines all.

Wake up the skills asleep in you
Discover more paths, learn things new,
Hold your heads high and be free
Maintain the high standards of loyalty.

Friends of humble birth and brave
Bury the devil deep into the grave,
Reap your passions of self-confidence
Hatch your dreams in all true sense.

Curse not time, even trouble-torn
A fuller life to lead you are born,
The light of your goal across the dome
In darkest hours will guide you home.

Fight out pollution from this global hall
Sting harmony on this earthen ball,
Love and live and serve the poor
Enlighten my heart with morals pure.
