ODE TO GG

Ghora Gali a century old,
With the mighty banner of blue and gold,

What service done to country and friend;
My children to Ghora Gali I will send,

To Gallians Lord give courage and nerve,
To GG Lord give strength to serve;

Blessed are those who still are Gallians,
In fighting spirit like wild stallions,

They smile even in defeat,
They never had to beat retreat;

Onwards and upwards they faster go,
Like an arrow from the bow,

Remember Gallians you are one,
In the solar-system like the sun;

Leaving GG your work’s not done,
The work has actually just begun,

The battle of life you will win,
If you remember Never Give In,

Go on and on fight it hard,
In life’s gamble, this is the trump card;

I have just one more wish today,
So join me brethren and let us pray:

Nothing should the name of GG mar,
Allah! Make it brilliant as the northern star;

One day the call of Allah will come,
It’s inevitable, it spares none,

When we’ll be moving towards the sun,
We shall say to the angels all and one,

Look yea upon the mother earth,
That is the place that gave us birth;

When Allah will call us in His presence,
In the garden of flowers and of fragrance,

He’ll say unto us O men of mine,
Have you done anything divine?

Praise be to you O Ocean of Knowledge,
Which let us study in Lawrence College,

We did our best and always tried,
To keep the name of GG high,

If that be no work divine,
Then all my life was a miserable crime,

God don’t then put me in your hell,
But in the hills that echo GG’s bell,

O Lord put more light in GG’s caverns,
Her name should shine on earth and heavens.
