MALAM LAWANTI
By Bashir Yahuza Malumfashi
•••••
This poem is dedicated to Malam Kabiru Danladi Lawanti as he celebrates his birthday today.
•••••
Today as always,
We hail your noble day,
A mind that lights
The scholar’s way.
With chalk and thought,
You shape the truth,
And guide the dreams
Of eager youth.
In lecture halls
Where wisdom grows,
You plant the seeds,
The student knows.
No rest you seek,
Yet peace you give,
A life well-lived
To help all live.
So here’s to you,
Our pride,
Our guide,
With humble heart
And towering stride.
May joy and strength
Your years renew,
For none deserve them
More than you.
