While the Gordon College, Rawalpindi*
Which was once among
The proud pinnacled pioneers of education
In South Asia
Has waxed and waned
In its long history of over a hundred years
You, Prof. Khwaja Masud
Have remained a steady stream of role mode principled
Life, light and learning
Not just for your generations of students
For nearly ninety years of a blessed life-span
But also for
Your ever-expansive fraternity of extended family of friends
All over Pakistan
And indeed, the rest of the world!
As an ever-living legend
You will continue to inspire
Your fraternal progeny
Henceforth
Who will strive for the fruition of your dream
In the renaissance of the Gordon College
As a leading University of Pakistan!
May your noble soul
Rest in perpetual Peace!
