Kalam Salam (Thou Shall Remain Eternal….)

Earthly domicile (India) he left,
Abruptly went to deep sleep.
What a flabbergasting death it was!
Which stupefied multiple folks.

Thou golden dreams and aspirations
of India’s Mission ‘2020’,
Will take the wings of fire
As your views, your idea and your inspiration
Have left an indelible imprint!

Shillong seems to be very lucky,
For hosting aristocratic decease.
Why God has suddenly noticed you?
‘Good deeds never remain for long’.

You slipped from the Corporeal Earth,
What a significant end in the universe!
How can we wear solemnity on our visage?
Sorry to say yet we are dazed!

Your death in the lap of education,
Though soaked us in the ocean of grief,
But what an end it was;
Dying amidst your hope, your dream-The YOUTH!
While igniting the spark of education.

You just demised from our sight,
Yet you shall ever abide in our heart.
Indian clocks stopped at nine,
You already died afore the time.

You were Philanthropist of the nation,
Man with modesty, man with smile,
You were architecture of love and pride.
Hard to believe that you're no longer with us,Sir 
But you will be remembered with deep sigh.

For you left us lamenting and repenting,
We lost a great Engineer,
Ballistician, Doctor, Professor, President
And of course a prominent ‘Missile man’,

Oh! APJ please teach this corrupted politicians,
The way of integrity and optimistic lessons.
See how they are blemishing your Country!

Last but not the least with massive esteem,
Through these verses, I pay my homage to you.
May your Soul rest in peace in the heavenly abode!
You were, you are, you shall always be remembered as one in a
million!
