Ancient Tree

Oh! mighty “Peepal” tree,
none is as wise as thee.

Since, ages you have given -
enlightenment, wisdom and vision.

Your one pious touch,
can heal a heart, hurt so much.

The amaranthine blessings you shower,
give life an unending power.

Saints meditate beneath your shade,
gaining strength to wade.

King of trees you are,
like the pole star, among all stars.

We bow to thee,
Oh! mighty “Peepal” tree.



Ficus religiosa is called “Peepal” in Hindi language. It is a sacred tree in Hinduism and is worshipped all over India.
