This is the English translation of an original Indian poem. Guess who wrote the original.

The cup of India has always overflown
With the heady wine of truth
Even the philosophers of the West
Are her ardent devotees
There is something so sublime in her mysticism
That her star soars high above constellations
There have been thousands of rulers in this land
But none that can compare with Rama
The discerning ones proclaim him
The spiritual leader of India
His lamp gave the light of wisdom
Which outshone the radiance
Of the whole of mankind
Rama was valiant, Rama was bold
Rama yielded deftly his sword
He cared for the poorest of poor
He was unmatched in love and compassion


Hint: Atal Bihari Vajpayee quoted this poem in one of his New Year's messages as Prime Minister.

Haha, no.

Another hint: the poem was in Urdu.

The guy who wrote this also wrote about Krishna, Buddha and even Viswamitra!

He knows Hinduism better than our exceptionally brilliant SU-CH scholars!

This one on Rama was lovingly written by Iqbal!

This is why you are my guruvu-gaaru! Yes, it is Iqbal who called India the best in the world, said religion doesn't teach division, and then advocated India's division on religious lines.
