జోహార్లు నెల్సన్ మండేలా జీ

Blacks Hero

( On the eve of Nelson Mandelas Jayanthi)

Turn and Turn 

Pages and Pages

Back and Back 

Dig and Dig 

Will get you diamonds

Diamond glitters 

Spirit of a soul too glitters 

Many such spirits in History

One such is of Nelson Mandela

What a shameful policy

To differentiate by color

Apartheid thy name

Skin to skin discrimination

Mandela Fought like a warrior

Result is  Arrest

Not a day, 

not a month,

not an year

It is three decades

That too in a tiny cell

Not even to his body size

Simply Hell

But never afraid

Waited for a day to come

Hope is his strength

Unstoppable commitment

Result is Grand Victory 

Indipendance to South Africa

A prisoner is the  President

Committment Paid the Fruits

Mandela is Mahatma of that Land

Let us pay Pranams to this great leader on his Jayanthi Day
