Tribute to our beloved father Dr. C.B. Jagan
Rose a shining star Streaking across the sky Lighting the way to the dawn of a new day Setting fire to the intellect of the downtrodden, The poor and the disdained Tearing down the walls of prejudice and injustice.
Father, you have forged a country, a nation, On the anvil of your imagination. We are proud to proclaim to the world We are your children.
The inevitable sweeping tide of fate Now leaves us bereft of your presence. We are sad, father. We shed tears for you.
The great ones are eulogizing you. Listen, father, there is an echo of your loss Reverberating around the world. They, too, share our sorrow.
Father, we promise not to grieve, Not to despair, But to build a monument to your towering strength That will last beyond time. Rest in peace, father.
