And our dream come to the ground
Let the words fly!
Like the Eagle of Egypt
Fly high to the sky, to the horizon
And beautify the marching white clouds
Let the syllables sink!
Like the Dolphin of Atlantis
Sink very deep into the twilight zone
And pacify the curling purple whirlpools
Let the rhymes run!
Like the Tiger of India
Run vigorously to the edge of heaven
And mollify the mystical thick green forests
Rejoice in peace
Rejoice in paradise
Rejoice in one piece
Rejoice in God’s Blessings
