To Mrs. Indira Gandhi Poem by Aziz Ahmad 'Aziz Moradabadi'

Blest be O Indira Gandhi,
The leader of Congress Party.
In you the country people see
Pure milk of human sympathy.

How so beautiful a flower
Of Adam and Eve’s fair bower!
You have reached the highest tower
Of great fame, glory and power.

A worthy leader of our land!
The people deem you as their friend.
You remain ready to extend
In time of need your helping hand.
A champion of socialism;
A hater of communalism;
A captain of secularism;
A heart loving many an ism.

You do not feel afraid at all;
You remain great in rise or fall;
You are strong as the iron wall;
You deserve the respect of all.

A great reader of human face;
A sound justice in every case;
A great glory of human race;
A modern lady full of grace.

Boastfulness does never touch you;
You make the plans ever anew.
Patriotism takes pride in you;
You have a place which is your due.

A Director of the world’s screen!
You are far better than a queen.
May God give you life long and green
To shape the dreams Gandhi had seen!
