It was a memorable day in my life;
When I was rewarded for my talent
In the stage, amidst my friends
In assembly for my poem's trend.
I was amazed as she said of my poetic talent,
In the presence of our school teachers
I wanted to stand up, but I could not,
As I was allured by what was said.
My legs tangled when everyone perceived me
As though among throstles, I was a bee.
I could not believe my own ears,
So, I bowed my head in a trice.
I was happier than ever before
By this honour for my lore.
It was all but the gift of the ubiquity
And shall bring me bliss in my tranquility
My sincere thanks to the authority
I shall never forget her charity.
Still the verdant memories linger in my heart
And it shall be there forever as an indelible dot.
-Sumazla.
