Ode to Kumar Sangakkarara
View(s):
Sangakkara in action against Pakistan.
You’re a brilliant star from the famed Trinity
Have trailed a blaze of glory for the country
Ever since you appeared in the cricket horizon
Have served its cause with flamboyance and distinction
You’re a shining star of global fame in the noble game
Have won praise of every fan and bouquets of every dame
You’re a great son of Lanka to earn the glorious awards
And have the potential to notch up many more rewards
You’re a genial giant with genteel manners and demeanour
Your exquisite strokes with fine timing one and all clamour
Your repertoire of shots have brought rapturous applause
That you’re a star batsman everyone would endorse
Like your stylish batting your Lord’s shining oratory
Is a feather in your cap, earning added glory
A fluent speaker, a budding lawyer, a batting genius
An ICC Cricketer standing tall for achievements glorious
Your triple awards give our countrymen pride and honour
You’re the peoples cricketer despite glitter and glamour
You’re an or ornament, enriched the game of cricket
Sri Lankans wish you stay long at the wicket.
M. Azhar Dawood.
