1. O you who bring back the past to those longing for it
In this age, there is enough to preoccupy them

2. Do you return them so the erudite may benefit
From varieties of sight and hearing?

3. If you are talented, does your aim rise above
Being described as accomplished and creative?

4. Why a return of Othello and his fortunes
Death of deceivers and downfall of the crafty?

5. Or Hamlet’s return and the decree which struck him down
Hitting the core of his greedy uncle?

6. Or Romeo whose blood was wasted in
Revenge for an old feud

7. Or William fulfilling his vow to God amidst
The infighting of religions and sects

8. Or that redeemer who sacrificed his father out of
Love, the best of sons and the bravest of the valiant

9. Make your audiences laugh at times or make them cry
Or please them with rhythmic compositions

10. Bring back to them the past with its men
Its principles, solutions, and norms

11. Glamorize virtue, do not let desire sway you
Or make them fall for it and overdo persuasion

12. I see theatre as moral education
Amidst the tribulations of sights and sounds
