AN ODE TO THE ALMA MATER

Seated here you, Oh! Mother of thousand learners...
In the heart of this old mythological shore...
In the golden sands of time and cool breeze of love.
You are never tired of carrying your children.

Your greatness has been spread beyond time and place,
The older you grow with the flow of time,
The more your tender loving care grow for us.
You are never tired of carrying your children.

The great family still growing year after year,
To make you proud of the success of your children.
You groom them with values and sense of patriotism,
You are never tired of carrying your children.

You crossed your Diamond Jubilee of life,
All of us celebrated the glitter, glory and greatness.
You never took a break from such a long service
You are never tired of carrying your children.

You created a brand and gave them brand value,
They were greeted with honour and respect everywhere.
You made your offspring ready to face the life,
You are never tired of carrying your children.

Long seven years, they left their mom's lap,
You adopted them as your own children
They owe their everything to you, you made them proud
You are never tired of carrying your children.

You gave them all their skills and talents
You gave them the best mentors and friends,
You gave them testing time to become strong
You are never tired of carrying your children.

Now it's their turn to payback with interest,
As they were sharpened and shaped in your lab
You know their gratitude know no bounds
You are never tired of carrying your children.

Thousand prayers to your long life and glory
Let your name and fame reach the stars
They will be your prodigies ever
You are never tired of carrying your children....
