O! The Sacred Land, <br />May ever fall, flow melodious cascades, <br />Flourish your deep valleys, green glades, <br />And may time erase the streak of divisions, <br />Of caste, of creed, of sects and grades. <br /> <br />O! The Sacred Land, <br />May upon your face flowers ever bloom, <br />Till the world goes on, till the day of doom, <br />And may He secure, protect your treasures, <br />Cast away winds of pain, clouds of gloom. <br /> <br />O! The Sacred Land, <br />May sweet sun ever shine upon your land, <br />The rains ever pour upon your thirsty sand, <br />May your children live the life full of bliss, <br />While going ahead supporting hand in hand. <br /> <br />O! The Sacred Land, <br />May you ever progress by leaps and bounds, <br />And ever vibrate with the melodious sounds, <br />Your valleys, your plains and forests green, <br />Your lofty mountains, your hills and mounds. <br /> <br />O! The Sacred Land, <br />May God thrive your village, city and town, <br />And He wrap them all with heavenly gown, <br />Of love and faith, of peace and patience, <br />And rule the world wearing the golden crown.<br /><br />Muhammad Shanazar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-the-sacred-land/
