MAY THE GARDEN BE FULL OF THORNS,


retee phool khilaaye,
MAY FLOWERS BLOOM IN THE SAND,


jis jag me.n sa.ngeet nahee.n
THE LAND THAT’S DEVOID OF MUSIC,


voh ho jaaye shamshaan,
MAY THAT TURN INTO A CEMETERY!


voh ho jaaye shamshaan,
MAY THAT TURN INTO A CEMETERY!


voh ho jaaye shamshaan,

God gave me my money. I believe the power to make money is a gift from God . . . to be developed & used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money & still more money & to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience.
