AJ: The Deep Spring of Knowledge

There are no waves
There are no roars
There are no hard blows of winds

But
A spring
A deep and deep
Spring of knowledge
AJ
The Nilavarai* of intellectualism

The spring nourishes
The field of intellectualism
And yields flowers and fruits
Of hearts
With the love of humanity

Now, now
It remains and remains
Only in the hearts and minds

It’s always in the hearts and minds
Of spirits that urges
For the evergreen of the intellectualism
For the love of Humanity

Oh the generation of the future
Come, come and visit
The silent and deep Nilavarai
The spring of resource
And think of our Great AJ
