We are in year of Golden Jubilee celebration
Contemplating ways how to begin deliberation
Such events comes once in lifetime to be in session
Have to think meaning of; and define its definition
If we think where were; and where we are
Let’s begin from 1957 don’t go; any further far
I remember those days socially we were at war
Fighting day and night to come out of that war
Slowly and gradually we were moving our cars
Suddenly Mowla injected jet fuel in 1942 cars
That sped up development to see beyond stars
His vision accelerated developments with no wars
In all walk of life moving with Godspeed so far
Soon will be at peak; to be with others at par
Virtually owning a country with no land so far
Mowla is the king; His obedient servants; we are
World amazed; how this happened with no army and wars
This is the outcome of His Vision beyond; Galaxy of Stars
I’m dreaming off to start celebration in my kingdom of stars
Angels; and Fairies are jubilant to come down from Mars!
