Sri Sathya Sai Unity Cup

Man's life is like a cricket game,

Where you strive to uphold your honour and name.

It's better, a good loser, to be,

Than a bad winner, the world to see.

Take care and comply with the rules

As cricket stadiums are like schools,

With a smiling face, give and take

And your sportsmanship, never forsake.

Life is a game, so play it well,

You're the maker of your heaven and hell,

Love all, serve all, as you play your role,

Help ever, hurt never and save your soul.

More joyful than bread, butter and cream,

Is the joy of working as a team;

Sports can unite and lift man up;

Long Live Sri Sathya Sai Unity Cup.

Now, nowhere on earth is to be found,

A cricket stadium on holy ground;

Is not this stadium God's unique gift,

Man, to transform and uplift.

If a glass cup were to fall and break,

Its value, it would fully forsake;

But a broken cup, new or old,

Remains valuable, if made of gold.
