United Arab Emirates- Happy 50th National Day! Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Your unity belongs to you
your prosperity belongs to you
your nation belongs to you
your benevolence belongs to others.

Your kindness has exceeded your heart
your brotherhood has held on to its purpose.
your generosity has been so vast
your desert has upheld the wonder of your past.

Your progress speaks of volumes
your development has been so tremendous
your cities are so full of velocity
your momentum has revolved the life of others.

Your compassion has made dreams come true for so many
your attitude to the poorest has been so remarkable
your humanity has brought hopes upon the faces of the poor
your lenience has been your strength.

Your fraternity has been so considerate.
your outlook has been so encouraging
your graciousness has been your legacy
your love and care has gained reciprocity.

Your yesterday has been so memorable
your tomorrow will be more graceful.
your nation has always been the spotlight of hope
your perennial compassion has encouraged humanity.

Your harmony is your fortitude
your faith is your marvel
your peace is your endurance
your prayer is your devotion.

Your nation is a book of contentment
your story is a novel
your literature is endless
your pages of kindness will be re-written manifold.

Your generations will be proud of your bequests
your children will celebrate their patriotism for centuries
your friendliness will last in them endlessly
your magnanimity will shine in them forever.
