TO OUR SON (ON HIS GRADUATION).

  **   TO  OUR SON. ** 
    (ON HIS GRADUATION)
                        -AF EKBAL.

LIFE IS A FLEETING BARGE  
CROSSES AHEAD SO FAST,  
WITH EACH DAYBREAK  
ANOTHER DAY BECOME PAST.

AS FATHER,  NEARED YOU   
SINCE YOUR LIKELIHOOD, 
CARESSING SINCE YOU BORN-   WITNESSING CLOSELY YOUR MANHOOD.

IN A SPECIAL COMPARTMENT OF MY HEART  
STORED SO MANY SPECIAL MEMORIES  
OF YOUR CHILDHOOD THAT ENDEARED  
YOU TO ME- ARE OF VARIOUS CATEGORIES.

SO SOFT YOUR SOUNDS   
THE SIGHT OF YOUR LOVELY TEARS,  
MILD HUGS WITH LITTLE ARMS  
ALL ARE SAVED FOR YEARS !

YOU NOW GROWN UP  
AND FLOURISHING YOUR OWN IDEAS,  
YOUR SPIRIT NOW CAN MANIFEST   THE UPCOMING YEARS.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU  
AND WITH YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS,  
THE PERSON YOU HAVE BECOME  
MADE GLORIOUS YOUR PARENTS.

BE STRONG IN MIND AND FAITH   STAYING IN ALMIGHTY'S GUIDANCE,  
THAT WILL CARRY YOU FORWARD   KEEPING AWAKEN THE CONSCIENCE.

NO DEGREE CAN MAKE A HUMAN   
NOR ANY CREDENTIAL DOES,  
IT'S THE WISDOM AND APPRECIATION- MIND IT SON QUALITY MATTERS.

DAYS MAY COME HARDER 
AGONIES MAY GEAR UP IN TIMES,  
SHALL HAVE TO STAND STILL  
YOUR ILLATION MUST BE THE PRIME ! 

WISH YOU- BE A HUMAN  
STANDING ON THE ROOT,   
NEVER ADRIFT IN EMOTIONS- 
DO STAND ON CONFIDENT FOOT.
