Hail to you o majestic Himalaya!
The king among the mountains,
Crowned with snow-capped peaks,
Seated like a mighty monarch on a throne,,
Calmly dominating the landscape beneath.
Bedecked with heavenly grace,
Surrounded by an invisible aura,
A timeless wonder you truly are,
Holding myriad mysteries within.
Sitting unmoved and composed,
Under the burning sun or thunder,
Like an austere 'yogi' you appear,
Absorbed in meditation forever.
You are the one to have witnessed,
Countless changes on this earth,
Right from the earliest days till now,
Happening here through long ages.
Seekers of spiritual bliss have found,
A serene resort in your portals,
Men of science from across the world,
Come here looking for rare minerals.
Sitting unmoved and composed,

Like an austere 'yogi' you appear,
Absorbed in meditation forever.
You are the one to have witnessed,
Countless changes on this earth,
Right from the earliest days till now,
Happening here through long ages.
Seekers of spiritual bliss have found,
A serene resort in your portals,
Men of science from across the world,
Come here looking for rare minerals.
And some daredevils do take pride,
In scaling your challenging heights,
Nature lovers are drawn towards you,
By the spell of your pristine grandeur.
Generations of poets and philosophers,
Have sung rich hymns in your honour,
Painters and lensmen are never tired,
Of capturing your sublime glamour.
Though not as rich in form or colour,
I place at your feet these simple verses,
Accept, if you please, this humble offering,
And make me proud of my little venture.
