Akishige Matsumoto
Akishige Matsumoto,
Ceaseless aspiration-fire you are.
In you Japan has discovered
Benevolence-fulness unparalleled
That sleeplessly shines
In your life's meditation-light.
O flower-blossomed heart
of Japan,
India has flung open
her heart's door to you
And is beckoning
Your aspiration-peace-flooded
eyes
And offering her soul's
oneness-love.
