RESPECT EVERYONE'S RIGHTS

You should respect everyone's right

Be they old, young or full of might,

Be they for you an adversary

Or if they ever made you happy

The biggest right is that of God's

You should obey him and no other gods

Our body parts too have certain rights

Such as not viewing forbidden sights

Our relatives have many rights

Be it our parents, brothers or our wives

There are also rights for our deeds

Be it charity, supplications or holy feeds

All people have certain rights

Be they our teachers, or citizens nation-wide
