Leprosy is his life
Where social stigma was rife
Spanning Thirumanee
Chingleput and Poonamallee
A world without this scourge
With his generous attitude
Battling for a cure to emerge
He keeps his quietude
Leprosy is his life
WHO was his dream come true
Travelling with an ambition to pursue
Fighting for a better life
His actions speak louder than words
His words few and far between
But he gets his message across
Ensuring the mission to be seen
In Asia, Africa and the world
Travelling around the world
In nations known, unknown and strange Planted the seeds for change
In his relentless quest for betterment
His routine is set like a metronome
In his retirement to be spent
Many a project out of home
Helps all to get an education
Strives for a better life they deserve
Wants to make India a better nation
Of its great peoples to preserve
Harmony among peoples of all faith
Loves to promote good relations
Among all peoples in good faith
And peace among relations
Twice a year the tricolour unfurled
Not just for a better India
But a role model for the world
Straight out of the encyclopedia
By leaning on our strengths
We too can alleviate a small distress
Hard work is one of his strengths
He sure is an example for all of us
All this without Allahʼs help
Would have been impossible
We would like him to continue to help
In this mission where few thought possible
