From the Cradle to the Grave,
Knowledge seeks and wisdom crave;
Shrubs of envy, thorns of odds,
With thy wings O, Eagle shave;
Cliffs that lead to lofty peaks,
With thy leaps O, Tiger pave;
Be to ups and downs of life,
Surging, swelling, sweeping wave;
Adam as knew Names of all Things,
Rose he Master, all else slave;
Jars of soul with scrolls of wisdom,
Fill O, Inmates of the cave;
Shake thy hands with ‘non-terrestrials’,
Let the stars your banners waive;
Go ahead, climb up, and dive,
Faith and Love is thy stave;
Clings to necks what tends to fly,
Of deeds making backs concave;
Leaves its scar on ‘self’ for good,
What you think, what you behave;
Learn from what befell Tsunami,
And Kashmir whose mounts did wave;
As if they were tides to prove:
Life-throne rests on moody wave;
With the Zamzam of Compassion,
Stones of hatred melt and lave;
To the flute of Love be mute,
Let the ravens roam and rave;
Lust and greed breed germs of war,
Put thy horse in reason’s trave;
War erases what peace raises,
Peace doth free, and wars enslave;
“War is folly, peace is wisdom”,
This on graves did Time engrave;
Let men breath as free as you,
Souls born free you don’t enslave;
Enter Peace from top to bottom,
Checking Doom Day, grim and grave;
May Love show thee Ways of Peace,
Straight to Home of Peace, O’ brave;
Culture, Arts, Civilization,
From the War of Monsters save;
Save thyself through saving ‘others’,
God forgave him who forgave;
Who grows others, himself he,
Grows, and gets back what he gave;
Krishna, Buddha, Kanfu, Zora,
Take their ‘deeve’ and be ‘dave’
Jesus, Hussain, and Hallaj,
Smell in them what roses crave;
Knowledge City is Muhammed,
And Ali is its main Enclave;
Enter City through its Gate,
Through this short-cut Time you save;
Moses, Mary, Muhammed,
Mother Earth each ‘M’ doth crave;
Strike thy rock for Twelve Springs,
And thy strings for sweet octave;
Let the bell of “I am Time”,
Ring and steer thy nave;
Holds Qalander in his grail,
Sevens seas of wit as wave;
