WELL DONE ADIK FAIZ AMIRUL

Faiz used to be budak kampong
Now he is out of kepompong
Umur 5 mula berjinak dengan catur
Mula belajar cara bidak diatur
Raja hanya bergerak demi setapak
Permaisuri ligat semuanya disepak
Terdengar suara berteriak ..” Mat”
Penanda game dahlah tamat
Di Taiwan, Faiz dinobat Pahlawan
Syabas atas kemengan tewaskan lawan
Penacapaian awesome harumkan Negara
Kami rasa kagum dan gembira
Kepada OP Amirul Hj Mohamad
Kejayaan Faiz bukanlah muktamad
Three Cheers for Adik Faiz
Hip..hip..hurray
