Gandhi
To call in a word in the world Oh ! Gandhi,
That's only one, a Mohandas Karamchand.
No spite, no pride, so in his soul,
There found Oh! Whole globe flames that's love.
"World my home, and all my kin,
Come hand in hand" - he told to all,
"Foe' ... that word he wrote nor spell,
Where he went... , all hymns of love.
Caste or cult are so no rampart-
To call a man... sole word; sure... 'human'.
Lining up all children of Bharath-
Gandhi made them lions of freedom.
Made us strong he stood our might,
We all so recur the man 'So Great'.
