When born, he came to earth with nothingness;
Against dishonesty, he always fought;
All life, he chose the path of righteousness;
He got his limelight, though he never sought.
An Indian, patriotic to the core,
A simple human being, he remained;
Most children loved the Prez all the more;
His soul in purity, the man sustained.
The scientist rose to stardom through mere toil;
The man of science had no ego at all;
He always loved his home-town and its soil;
His glorious life adorns a famous hall.
Another man like him cannot be born;
He always prayed before the dawn, each morn.
"May his great soul rest in peace in the Lord! "
