I have lived,

 smelt the gentle hints of oudh

 Known the chants and hymns

   Uttered awashed in flames

From lips of the keepers of the eternal flame

In the flicker, I saw faith

For the fire is among the fours

Before the sword forced Gods upon

  And to this day seek to erase

  A faith has lived, and has lived along

     In hearts, and minds, in glowing embers

Through hands that has fed

In their eyes, I see light

For the fire is, piercing the darkness
