He raised his voice against the noise,

Against injustice, against imposed choice,

He dreamed of a world where all could stand,

Equal in rights, hand in hand.

 

He stood for those denied their place,

For every man who faced disgrace,

Branded by caste, forced to hide,

Carrying silent wounds inside.

 

Through struggles harsh, he chose the way,

Education led his path each day,

He rose to change the system’s frame,

And lit the torch of justice’s flame.

 

The architect of laws so wise,

Where every citizen’s dignity lies,

Babasaheb Ambedkar, strong and true,

A guiding light for me and you.

His voice became the nation’s law,

Articles 14, 17, 21 we saw,

A Constitution standing tall,

Ensuring justice for us all.

 

Now it is our duty to rise,

To end all hate, all wrong, all lies,

A just society we must create

Where all are equal, none is late.
