A study of Gandhi

 

It is a poem, which is written by Shri Humayun Kabir. He is a famous Gandhian thinker. He describe his work and life in dramatic way.

 

Across vast spaces and vast times he strode,

Buoyed upon the hopes of ancient race,

Achiving courage out of dark despair,

Like a huge serpent resting coil on coil,

Slept the vast country in involuted sloth,

But a breath of life stirs every vein,

For Gandhi breaks the charm of magic sleep,

Brings back life till age long lassitude,

Drops like old dead skin from frozen limbs.

A puny figure strides upon the scene,

Of vast and elemental suffering: Strides

Against the back-ground where slow death,

Paints in dull phantasm goral grey

The end of all endeavour, hope and faith,

What secret magic transforms the scene?

Whence spring s forth a deep abiding force,

Over vast and elemental suffering triumph,

And with new birth’s pain and radiance shoots

Thee landscape’s dull phantasm goral grey ?

 

The static, dead and slothful continent,

Thrills to a new song of hope, of forward move,

Thrills to a new song hope, of forward move\

The momentum gathers, the masses shake,

And strain and quiver for the onward march,

From slow- decaying death to resplendent life.

 

A long figure stands upon the sands of time,

Stands upon the shores of India’s timeless space,

Draws upon its vast and primeval wells,

Of granite suffering and immortal hopes:

Launches India’s resistless caravan,

Into adventures new, a perilous hopes:

Where out of life substance is must be carved

New values, new directions, order new-

Gandhi Mahatma, India Leader, India’s soul
