You had to depart
For us to know your worth
You had to say adieu
For us to know what was our due
A man whose greatness the world didn’t know
When he moved unnoticed amidst thronging crowds
And trod the earth – a silent goliath
Unconcerned with glory and wealth
Today, when you have gone
All are praise for the fortune
Of an exemplary life you taught
May that not come to naught
For we are a forgetful lot
A nation bows its head in reverence
May you, Sir, like a beacon shine
And inspire us through our Indian nights
Of ignorance and lack of foresight
Adieu! India’s great son always upright
May your lessons never be a waste
