And blessings that are sure to please with no fears.

Divergent dialect ,languages with literary genre,

Coming from experience of Dante to Shakespeare .

Such that the willing and the brave lake firm hold of the quest

And virtue forth , all doubts to waive , to dare to do their best !

Rebirth , Oh ! God praise !

Moving from gloom of darkness to the luster of enlightenment,

Everything seems to be glorify , revival with hope of empowerment. 

Sculpturing  from Astro to Physics , Galileo to Luther ,

Fulfilling glorify of religious and philosophical errors .

Believe or not ! it was like spark in a youth's cheek ,

just like song of nightingale freshening the surrounding in its peak.

Revival of an era , endless amount of chivalry in the pray ,

Rebirth, Oh ! God praise !

excellence in its way...…
