    My dear SoldiersOh! Defenders of borders

    You are great sons of my landWhen we are all asleepYou still hold on to your deedWindy season or snowy daysOr scorching sun's swelteringrays

    You are there guarding all thetime awakeTreading the lonely epanses asyogislimbing the heights or stridingthe "alleysDefending the deserts orguarding the marshesSur"eillance in seas and bysecuring the air#rime of your youth gi"en to the

    nation!!Wind chimes of my land "ibrate

    The *ision

    I climbed and climbed

    Where is the peak, my Lord?

    I ploughed and ploughed,

    Where is the knowledge treasure, my Lord?

    I sailed and sailed,

    Where is the island of peace, my Lord?

    Almighty, bless my nation

    With vision and sweat resulting into happiness

    Soaring Dream

    abulous air show of !aris in motion

    My thought too in flight and yearns for my *ation

    When will the planes designed in my land

    !ierce the sky as lightening in action

    And gracefully land as angels in full boom

    All to the envy of spellbound spectators

    'es we can %%

    When we are united in action and addicted to deeds

    Sky can+t be limit for my nation in action %%

    I am the Indian Ocean

    Surge of my waves and their mystical themes

    -mbracing .ombay and /ar0es in hold

    We all belong to the cradle of earth

    Same human civili1ation pervades us all

    2enerations of life in these lands were like waves

    3ising and falling and melting in time baobabs and

    .anyans stood witness to these cycles

    .ondage of slavery and foreigners yoke

    Are gone with the past and power now to people

    2andhi4i and *yerere+s nobility and soul strength

    2ot thy the freedom, and now you have a mission

    -nlightened youths, now you have to sweat

    or making thy people prosperous and happy

    or ye are the greatest hope, for this part of globe

    A&!&5& Abdul )alam
