Let us not focus on material pleasures Nor lay in the lap of luxury; Let us be awakened always that Our duty is to do good to humanity. Let us not enumerate our sorrows Nor constantly reflect on our happiness Let us step up to take action: Our duty is to do good to humanity. Let us sail over oceans of misery, Let us scale mountains of difficulty. While roaming through the jungle of adversity, Our duty is to do good to humanity. Be it a dense forest of extreme darkness Or surrounded by kith and kin When we travel these paths, Our duty remains - to do good to humanity.
