It is a poem written by Shrimati Sarojini Naidu. She is one of the best associate of Mahatma Gandhi. He had participated many Satyagraha, which was started by Mahatma Gandhi. He knew him very well. He wrote everything in this poem which concerning with him.

 

Thou who unaging eyes has gazed upon,

The vision of Time’s glory and decay,

Round three have flower like centuries rolled away,

Into the silence of primeval down,

Thou hast out lived Earth’s empires and outshone,

The fable grace and grandeur of their away.

The far famed rivals of thine yesterday,

Iran and Egypt, Greece and Babylon,

Sealed in tomorrow’s was abysmal womb,

What do the grave prophetic eyes foresee?

Of swift or strange world destiny and doom,

What sudden kingdoms that shall rise and fall,

While thou dost still survive, surpass them all,

Secure, supreme in ageless ecstacy.
