Warrior of truth,
A priest of ahimsa ,
was he, Mahatma Gandhi,
The father of our nation.
A towering giant of our freedom struggle,
A model of simplicity.
He bestowed upon every Indian,
Their most prized possession,
Political liberty and social equality.
Gifted with strong moral character,
Missionary zeal and undying love,
For his countrymen.
A fighter against untouchability,
Indeed!
A great man was he,
The father of our nation.
