Islamise Civilization

The compass
The astrolabe
the Al-hambra
Or magnificent Taj Mahal

A thousand years
Thousands of gardens
Islamic civilization
Networked India to Spain and beyond

In celebrating that past
At the ROM we gather
Marvelling at such wonder
But no my child you too could make us proud

Avicenna and his medicine
Zero and the computer
Ibn Firnas and the first flying machine
Even NASA have many such Quran inspired heroines

So let not the dream be broken
Let the world not be surrounded
But by minds deeply reflective
Filled by faith and wisdom, you'll someday stand great!
