Oh my lovely AMU ! Oh my dear Alma Mater!
************ ********* ********* ********* *
My boundless passion for you allows me not,
To delete a word or message with your name;
Alas! They only reveal a saga of sordid tales,
How long these stories will tarnish your fame.
Your alumni have you close to their breaths,
For them, your aura of piety is still the same;
But from camera to corruption is your range,
I fail to understand, where now lies the blame.
The dirty mess in which you have plunged,
Your dignity is submerging in your shame;
May I be blessed with the prescience to know,
Who is standing behind this heinous game.
Such acerbic talks about you give me shock,
How it happened :How these black days came;
Such ugly news from the place as high as you,
In the darkness which lighted the bright flame.
In your interest, let us have a profound thought,
Why you have become so crippled and lame;
Let us show our resolve with an unbridled zeal,
How your unruly characters, we are able to tame.
