Ode to Guru!
Ode to Guru!
A stretch of arm when falls short of making a human
An apostle appears thus purge to cleanse divine churn
God doesn't descend always leaving his abode heaven
And sends the teachers in stead, to nurture them profane
To salvage all humans from their spirits as a demon
The first tiny step when crosses the home line
A mother waits in the school to embrace widen
A father loves to bet to make his future heaven
The first little finger when picks a pen to learn
The teacher toils carving letters from imagination
His every stroke of brush makes him a human
Her every touch blesses the infant's innocence
As time passes, the kid grows into a fully grown man
And forgets the school from where he stepped in to learn
Having known the craft of living and the art of life reborn
I bow before all my teachers who made me human
In memory of their teaching, wisdom and learning divine
As teachers, YOU all would shine in memories fine
In all your pupils whom you have shown the path to shine
You were born to become a teacher as destiny of morn
You will become one with element after your life is gone
But, Your Lux would shine the souls of thousand human
Remember, as a star YOU would never lose your divine gleam
Remember, as an Ode YOU would be forever sung as a hymn
In the temple of mankind till the clock reminds us mundane
You are the life-changer and destiny-maker of thousand human
