My Dad! My Dad! You are a hero
You showed me the path of God, I followed
The only drop in the rains of men I care about
You took me to school to learn and clear the doubts
The only lion I can fearlessly embrace
You trip to places just to see us in the right place
A lion-hearted man of faith
The family load you carry, careless about the weight
From pole to pole, you sweat to fill the family plate
You stand like a mountain in making us smile
Heart streaming with love more than the river Nile
Sleepless nights brooding about our tomorrow
None can tell the price you pay to see us grow
Dad! You are a priceless prize in every note
Sail us in your ship, with bones of pain in your throat
You are a king among kings
About you, there is not enough ink to ink how I feel.
To see us shine, you go through the pressure
You gave us love and care beyond measure
Your shortcomings are my blessings
Your blessings are my dressings
Never will I forget your instructions
Dad, heaven is your destination.
