Brothers and sisters      we are
All sons of God      who is one—
Only manifestations differ       in different religions.

The same elements       of this earth       we are made of—
A rare species       in the universe      of created beings,
We have built up       with much blood,   toil   and tears
This civilization of ours,       this history—
Full of achievements       of man.

The barriers     of country,   language,   colour   and religion
Are but surface   and superficial     things.
Black and white       are only skin-deep,
Underneath lies       the red thread of human unity.

In life and love,       poetry does blossom   and flourish
And strengthen       this bond of unity.

Language of poetry       is       from heart to heart.
