Blest be O Indira Gandhi, <br />The leader of Congress Party. <br />In you the country people see <br />Pure milk of human sympathy. <br /> <br />How so beautiful a flower <br />Of Adam and Eve’s fair bower! <br />You have reached the highest tower <br />Of great fame, glory and power. <br /> <br />A worthy leader of our land! <br />The people deem you as their friend. <br />You remain ready to extend <br />In time of need your helping hand. <br />A champion of socialism; <br />A hater of communalism; <br />A captain of secularism; <br />A heart loving many an ism. <br /> <br />You do not feel afraid at all; <br />You remain great in rise or fall; <br />You are strong as the iron wall; <br />You deserve the respect of all. <br /> <br />A great reader of human face; <br />A sound justice in every case; <br />A great glory of human race; <br />A modern lady full of grace. <br /> <br />Boastfulness does never touch you; <br />You make the plans ever anew. <br />Patriotism takes pride in you; <br />You have a place which is your due. <br /> <br />A Director of the world’s screen! <br />You are far better than a queen. <br />May God give you life long and green <br />To shape the dreams Gandhi had seen! <br /> <br />This poem was composed and sent to Mrs. Indira Gandhi on her birthday, the 19th of November,1983, which she acknowledged with thanks. <br /> <br />Ah! Now she is dead; <br />Tear-drops my eyes shed. <br />I hope her dear son <br />Shall shine like the sun.<br /><br />aziz ahmad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-mrs-indira-gandhi/
