O GOD, LET ALL WIVES BE AS GREAT AS SHE!

O GOD, LET ALL WIVES BE AS GREAT AS SHE!

Thank you my BH from my grateful heart’s bosom!
Sine the day you did in my life’s sterile stem blossom
The aura has been inexplicably beautiful and awesome,
O the catalystic Jasmine limber, heavenly and lissom!

Who could have rode a bashful cycle forgetting her scooty?
Who could have hugged acute insolvency quitting her booty?
Who could have been a sure cure for my all nagging ailment?
Who could have buttressed me ever like a selfless helmet?

Who could have sacrificed all her valuables for a paltry infidel?
Who could have been a more tolerant camel against my desert gale?
Who could have, all her sore woulds, voluntarily from me veiled?
Oh! How could have I, without her, in such ruffled water sailed?

Her unwavering reliance in me is indeed beyond expression
Misunderstanding never alights in her life’s content station!
In getting all my wishes fulfilled, she sucks Elysian exultation
I am owed to her for her devotion, dedication and contribution!

Hence, she is nestled in a special niche of my subtle heart
No, no one else can replace her, none can subdue her part.
I am more indebted to her in every respect than she is to me
O God, let all wives be as great as she is, my only Dream!
