.
I am the tomorrow of my nation
Who becomes leader is no concern of mine
I beseech Allah to guide
And pray for Islam to take root
For without His Help my people never will mend.
I am only a child
All I need is education
A shade over my head
A glass of water
And a morsel of food.
I have plenty of room for hope
I wish to grow in wisdom
I long to carry books
I wish to watch sunset
I want to watch birds
As I graze my herds.
