MONARCH'S ETERNAL BENEVOLENCE
Majestic and benevolent, you reign,
over a realm where slender soil spans,
ample for an elephant's repose,
yielding sustenance for seven war clans.
Monarch, you dismantle fortress walls,
forge war anklets from conquered gold,
ascending heights where rivals fall,
while detractors in shame grow old.
In your exalted state, you soar,
admiration gracing your noble name,
as detractors wallow in disgrace,
admirers revel in enduring fame.
May the echoes of your gracious reign,
Resound through ages, an immortal refrain.
In the hearts of subjects, a cherished endeavor,
A king's benevolence, lasting forever.
Witness you, in the future's light,
ever draped in words so sweet,
remain approachable, a guiding spirit,
with accessibility that none can surfeit.
