DEIGN Prince my tribute to receiveA
This lyric offering to your nameB
Who round your jewelled scepter bindC
The lilies of a poet's fameB
Beneath whose sway concordant dwellD
The peoples whom your laws embraceE
In brotherhood of diverse creedsF
And harmony of diverse raceE
-
The votaries of the Prophet's faithG
Of whom you are the crown and chiefH
And they who bear on Vedic browsI
Their mystic symbols of beliefH
And they who worshipping the sunJ
Fled o'er the old Iranian seaK
And they who bow to Him who trodL
The midnight waves of GalileeK
-
Sweet sumptuous fables of BaghdadM
The splendours of your court recallN
The torches of a Thousand NightsO
Blaze through a single festivalP
And Saki singers down the streetsQ
Pour for us in a stream divineR
From goblets of your love ghazalsQ
The rapture of your Sufi wineR
-
-
Prince where your radiant cities smileS
Grim hills their sombre vigils keepT
Your ancient forests hoard and holdU
The legends of their centuried sleepT
Your birds of peace white pinioned floatV
O'er ruined fort and storied plainW
Your faithful stewards sleepless guardX
The harvests of your gold and grainW
-
God give you joy God give you graceQ
To shield the truth and smite the wrongY
To honour Virtue Valour WorthZ
To cherish faith and foster songY
So may the lustre of your daysQ
Outshine the deeds Firdusi sungA2
Your name within a nation's prayerB2
Your music on a nation's tongueA2
