The roses are not enough to pay homage
on your Seventy Fifth birthday;
Your life was a productive period of time
and a bundle of colourful ray.
You had enough time to wade, float 'n swim
in the wide-open sea of thought;
You had the passion for Farrukh, patience of research
thus piles of creative work you brought.
Yours was a hard-work and commitment
shower of beauty in the light of Quraan;
May Allah keep you safe in life here 'n hereafter,
Professor Muhammad Matiur Rahman.
