To dissipate pure knowledge,
Is as painful as to kill a rage;
It is as hard as
To train an ass;
’Tis as easy and then better,
As to breathe, under water.

The teacher superbly suffers;
He all his all cheerfully offers!
Thoughts of how tedious his job is,
Pricks his heart, and kills his bliss.
He revives the weakest brain,
And gets rewarded with pain!

Turn leaders, to their direction!
Please, attend to their commotion:
Lo! they need great satisfaction!
Seriously, they deserve promotion!
Increase their wages;
Quench their thirst!
Clear their blockages
And serve them first!
They pushed each one of you, higher;
They made each one of you, a leader;
It is my constant longing and prayer:
That merciful God, bless the teacher!
