Born in Porbandar and Barristered in EnglandA
After defying apartheid in South AfricaB
Returned to India to free it from the shackles of colonialismC
Evolved as man extraordinaire pioneer and karma yogiD
With peace and love you have challenged imperialismC
Not shirking from incarceration led the countries towards freedomC
Decimating differences of caste class and religionsE
Uniting all people to liberate India was peak of your leadershipF
Champaran movement struggle for Independence Salt Sathyagraga Dandi MarchG
And call for Quit India freed us from British s draconian ruleH
Your self less service in Sevagram is still memorableI
With only weapons of non violence and non cooperationJ
The empire where Sun never sets has finally yielded to your steadfastnessK
As Father of the nation till your last breathL
you have strived to make us live in peace and prosperityD
As saint of Sabarmati you have espoused simplicity morality and spiritualityD
More than politics and power welfare of masses has been your utmost concernM
Only a great soul like you can forego the power of being the head of a nationJ
With emphasis on Khadhi and cottage Industries you have paved the wayN
For self reliance and rural developmentO
To eradicate untouchability and upliftment of Harijans Dalits has been your life long missionJ
Your forbearance courage and truthfulness is phenomenalI
Your life has been an ideal to emulate immense were your sacrificesP
It has been inspiring not only laymen but leaders across the worldQ
You will be etched as Bapu for ever in the psyche of IndiansE
Thou art a great soul indeed and this land of pietyD
Yearns for your reincarnation again and againR
To lead it to a greener and greater country with bounty and equalityD
To reclaim it s rightful place as beacon to the worldQ

Poet's note: India and the world having celebrated the151s birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, his relevance to present times has been re-visited. His honesty and perseverance are enigmatic. He is the leader in true sense. Without craving power, he has influenced the entire population of the country immensely.
