Answers
Oh! Great Leader Gandhiji
We all call you ‘Bapuji’
Oh! Father of our Nation
You made a Sensation
When you got us Independence
Without any violence
Oh! Great Leader Gandhiji
You practised law in South-Africa
And told the British to Quit India
And fought for India’s freedom
Without any weapons
Oh! Great Leader Gandhiji
You told the Indians to
burn Pardeshi and buy Swadeshi
To make salt you went to Dandi
You made cloth with Khadi
We must thank God
For this devoted man
Whom I remember every time
In my short life span.
It was vacation, and I had nothing to do;
I was at home and mummy daddy too;
My glance caught a sketch, of an old person;
He appeared to be the gentlest under the sun;
Strikingly, different was the expression in his Eyes;
Suddenly I felt guilty of all my lies;
His lips parted in a smile , so pure
He left me spellbound that's for sure
"Who is he dad?" was my question
"Come on, don't you know?" "was his reaction
He is the one who has set us free;
He is the one who has planted the tree;
He is the one, who was bold enough;
Firm and stubborn but never rough;
Truth and non-violence is what he taught
Same were the principles for which he fought
Preaching and practices for once were the same
His deed were worth name and fame
I have never seen a soul, so tall;
Oh dad; he appears to be the father of all
"You said it, child" said my dad
'Bapu' is the name he always had
I saw the sketch again and again,
His returning smile was my greatest gain,
October 2nd was the day my friends
That certainly changed my life's trends
