Tuesday, 1957, March 19	Jamatkhanas-1957-03-19	Jamatkhana is a wonderful place It also keeps a smile on your face! And this smile is so wide-from ear to ear, It makes all unhappiness disappear! And those tasbihs that look so new, When you use them you shine too! To me Jamatkhana is a time of joy, For man, woman, girl and boy! But sometimes I wonder why people are bad, Because it only makes dear Mowlabapa sad! But when people are good and they pray, It makes me want to say: From North to South, and East and West, JAMATKHANA is the best!
