The Album of Bider
Oh : the great and lovely land of the Bider
Your position is higher than other places and lands
You are older than high Himalayan mountains
In you green valleys and lovely scenes are full
Like a place of Kashmir in the area of Deccan
On an elevated land, it is located in the world
Your soil is pure and it is a good remedy for all cures
With blood of sincerity, all of the parts of its soil are full
There is the light of the knowledge of the past in all places
Your stones and mounts are source of history of Deccan
It was a center of the Royal Kingdom of the Balwant Kings
In the past, there were peace and every heart was happy
In the book of Gita, your story of history is mentioned
At that time of your height when Krishna was young
So it was much attracted to the land of Bider
Dementia was born there and become young
Like a flower of lotus, her face was such brilliant
The look of the girl was known and attracted in the land
Nail-like great hero was also born in the land of Bider
Dementia’s beauty was like lotus and Nail was her lover
Afterward, the Muslim rulers improved the condition of Bider
The Touhid of Islam was first time spread on the land of Bider
The triumphs and success stories of them are famous of all
Their stories of miracles of swords were well known to all
Oh : land of Bider you have the quality of elixir in you
The Kings of Bahmani were settled on the land of Bider
And those kings made it the center of all knowledge and arts
And in which established there many industries and crafts
Afterward, the Baridi Kings made here garden of civilization
So at that time your luck and shine were bright as the moon
Due to running on time all was lost and nothing remained
The cities and all dwelling palaces and areas were over
And the soil left on them and everywhere thing was finished
Even mosques and temples and other places
Were no more there and become demolished
All color paintings and everything are in the soil
Even in the royal courts, there are big pits are full
And grass and thorns are full so it is difficult to go there
Everywhere there is atmosphere of sadness and grief
In the royal tombs, great, mighty kings are sleeping
Their history and records are mentioned in their tablets
On stones and tiles story of the rulers is mentioned there
The success and downtime details of the Muslim kings
So oh land of Bider you know their glories well
There are seven great tombs of the Bahmani Kings
Like the seven skies which are down and disperse there
In which one can find and see their great history records
In the royal tombs world, famous kings are sleeping there
It is a great scene of lesson to the lookers of these buildings
Also, there are buildings of Barids Kings in broken condition
In royal palaces, there are full of wild birds and animals
The kings are helpless in the soil and watching the story of time
The royal tombs are the hallmark of the beauty and grandeur
From the tablets of kings, their record of ruling is well known
Due to great buildings, there is a great effect on the visitors
Once a college there which was a famous center of the kingdom
And it was known for the center of learning, but now no more.
So this center was famous and known in the world of knowledge
Its owner was the servant of knowledge and the hero of the nation
Who was famous with the grand name of pious Mahmud Gawan
His college’s campus, which reminds Mahmud Gawan.
Also, its one building portion was damaged by striking
And remaining minaret is saying the following
That everything will meet its end and God is eternal
So many learned persons are buried in your land
Known as servants of mankind and the Sufis of their time
Also, pious persons and innocents are buried in your land
Numbers of Islamic great persons are resting in your land
So keep all of them safe in their final resting place
Now the period of Hyderabad Kings commenced
So they should show the new color of victory and records
And to display the world with the knowledge and teachings
To discover the lost treasure from the land and renew the
Great achievements of glorious persons of the past kingdom
So that the world should surprise in this matter for this act
And from such heights number of great people will born
And to flourish the valleys of flower in the land of Bider
So that the lovely daughters like Dementia will born again
Also like great sons like Mahmud Gawan will re-appear there
Oh : the leader of mankind, Bider show the world the
The right path towards greater success and love of the mankind.
