We were traders
And carried trade to far countries
Through sea lanes
And established permanent cultural line
We had powerful tool
To remain successful
In matter of ruling small villages
To that of vast country in stages
When foreigners were talking of best education
We had deep roots for cultural relation
We imparted peace and stability
India was known as powerful country
So when great powers talk of peace
We feel little tease
We never govern our thoughts by outside preaching
In face, we have developed skill of teaching
So we talk of life’s theory
That is exactly thought over by an almighty
Rise and fall in life is governed by his wishes
We are meant to live like bubbles and perish
