– Jaihoon
To UAE, My Foster Mother
They say love has no scent or hue
And this say is indeed true
But truths are to experience
Not to be taken in ignorance
Yes, UAE is my Foster Mother
Like her, no mother other
I have played in her lap
Inspired by her clap
She breathed into me love
All fortunes to me she gave
She taught me the culture
To behave like human mature
Tolerance, her greatest merit
Unity from her I did inherit
Those who lead her have no parallel
Each unique in what they excel
At heart she is loyal to East
Yet her charm is not short of West
Of worlds old and new
Her wonders aren’t few
She is a wonder to all
Peace for all is her goal
She is the pride of her children
She loves all despite their origin
I have experienced the truth
Love and Gratitude are twins both
Yes, UAE is my Foster Mother
Like her, no mother other
