(addressed to the late visionary leader of Kerala Muslims fondly called Mahatma of Malabar)

Day and night
You thought about us

Awake and sleep
Your heart ached for us

Your dream
To see us in peace play

Your prayers
In bed of unity we lay

Our young ones to prosper
Knowledge be their soul’s whisper

Your only wish for our good
Not a drop be shed of our blood

With your wisdom you saved
Away from the venom we moved

Love was your weapon
Your words with it sharpen(ed)

Volcanoes turned to springs
With a smile you untied strings

You were our sincere mirror
Of our fortune, not error

Time called you the Fiery Star
You only sang love with your sitar

Day and night
You thought about us

Awake and sleep
Your heart ached for us
