Melting at misery, he tries wiping tears of every man
Preaches3 Abhaya and sacredness of every living man
Spils his precious scarce blood to arrest bloodshed
Lives to kill the sin of killing undaunted by its dread.
By acts and words proved the superiority of forgiveness
The merits of silent defiance over blustering force
Virtues of dying without killing and its nobleness
Above all, the supremacy of sacrifice and the soul force.
What a genius to turn our cruelty to his advantage
How successfully he held up our position to mockery
To what degradation he put us without any trickery
How impotent 've we become by that Naked 4Fakir of the age.
Isn't he then the history's paradox most amazing ?
By bearding lion in its den and liquidating its ferocity,
He turned himself into a pillar of eternal luminocity
And liberated the suppressed from shackles agonising.
How marvelous is that little man's atmasakti !
It's apratihata, 5akshaya and 6apurva like 7daivasakti"
Thus recorded General Smuts the African white leader
When Bapuji's Atmasakti turned him into a deflated bladder.
