Rajiv Gandhi

- A Poet’s Tribute

Decency Rajiv Gandhi, Magnanimity Rajiv Gandhi,
How beautiful looked Rajiv Gandhi

All the rulers rule the nations
But ruled over the hearts of the people Rajiv Gandhi,

The events of his life are witness to the fact
That from head to toe, humility personified, Rajiv Gandhi,

From Mahatma Gandhi to Indira Gandhi
Progressed with this tradition Rajiv Gandhi

That which divides our nation into religions and communities
How could have tolerated such politics Rajiv Gandhi

Only those made him the prey for their hatred
Whom used to teach the lesson of love Rajiv Gandhi

It is a misfortune that now he is not amongst us
Our destinies would have been changed through Rajiv Gandhi

Your charming smile still keeps ‘Manzar’ alive
Please see towards his love Rajiv Gandhi
