O God! Let me first be a student meek, obedient and humble,
Let my thoughts, like the Water of the Ganges, be clean, pure and noble!
Let my actions, like the obnoxious germs, never be ugly and abominable,
So that in the miry pond of life, l may bloom, like a Lotus bright and appreciable!
O God! Let me first be a Teacher well versed, disciplined and modest,
Let me own a virtuous character, what is a must for all, to pass life's Ultimate Test!
Let me never be, for my fellow beings, either a water hyacinth or a pestering pest,
So that I may please You to be blessed, at last, with peace, contentment and Rest!
O God! Let me first be a human being sincerest, strictest and staunchest,
Let me never deviate, for the cheap, remorseful gains, from my Just pursuit, and Right Quest!
Let me, till my last breath, tirelessly toil and persistently perspire my honest sweat,
That may succour me, in the long run, to get a rare ticket to enter Your Heaven's Gate!
