My Beloved Nigeria Reached Sixty

By Abubakar Muhammad Usman

I am full of heart beat of celebration
To announce you the birthday
Of our fathers’ land full of love
Which is on the way of success

I love this beloved country of serenity
Full of celebration of birthday
That thaws and freezes our hearts
And keeps our pride secured

I love this beloved country of unity
That unites our personality
That unites our humanity
And bestowed our hearts to the depth

I love this beloved country of peace
Where citizens live as one
Where males and females rest in hope
To achieve their goal of success

I love this beloved country of pride
That freezes peace in the unity
That cages unity in the span of peace
Where the ambitions go to occur

I pray for this beloved country
To be roped by success in hope
To be caged in pure size of luck
And enriched in every second

I pray for this beloved country
To become the store of smiles
That citizens smile everyday
And fall in love with our fathers’ land

I pray for our beloved past heroes
Who sacrificed their blood and thought
To fight for Nigeria in hope
That Nigeria will realise her dream

I pray for our beloved past heroes
May their souls rest in peace
Their names rest in appraise
And their dreams to be realised

I hope my regard to my mates
For our deep celebration
To reach those who are painted
With green-white-green
