The sea is restless, rivers weep, the sky cries,
Saddened by the death of India's great guide.
The country is heartbroken, bereft of a loving guardian –
The last angel of clean politics has passed on!
The leader of leaders, our dear father, is gone!
O, the author of statesmanship friendly even to opponents!
Look, we’re alone in the dense, dark, dreadful, night!
Who’ll lull us, lure us with lore jolly blessed & bright?
I pay affectionate tribute to his powers as a poet, as a Prime Minister and as a person who loved all of the countrymen without distinction, without discrimination!
