Special Poem Presentation by Tashir Kasmani in celebration of His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan’s 83rd Birthday.
Reflection upon the moon lite stream
Journeys from the dawn of tides
A beginning that was celestial
A time in which two eras join
A rose in the mist of many
Your path had been chosen
A founding of institutions
A founding of Pluralist values
A need for Time and knowledge as decreed
All in all you have built upon
The foundations of each year
You have given hope where it was known not
You have given us dreams where there was none
You have given us vision to where there was no sight
We shall piece together your words
We shall piece together your silence
We shall plant your ideas into reality
We shall build bridges with your values
We shall teach as you have taught us
In the coming of the dawn
We your global jamat shall celebrate your birthday
We will pray for many more to come
We shall rise and be your caregivers
To this journey you have put us on.
