Our Father of the Indian soil, br You got us freedom with your toil; br All life, you burnt the midnight-oil; br Your Freedom Struggle, none could foil! br br What simple life, you led on earth! br Your humbleness was seen from birth; br Such greatness stands always a dearth; br To you, all Indians owe our mirth! br br O Mahatma, you’re live today, br In hearts of earthlings to this day; br You showed an exemplary way; br Your sacrifice, none can repay! br br Although you were a simple boy, br You won us freedom we enjoy; br You persevered with your own ploy, br And made the British gun, a toy! br br Your love for us, we won’t forget; br Great men like you, may we beget; br Free nation from all foreign debt; br To you, we owe our lives, we bet! br br May heaven give you lasting peace; br May global Indians live with ease; br May earthlings live without disease; br May wars on earth totally cease! br br We love you Father Gandhiji! br We’ll live upto your dreams surely; br We miss you very much truly; br We promise to do our duty! br br br Copyright by Dr John Celes 2-10-2009br br Dr John Celesbr br
