One more link with the past has gone,
One more patriot gone to rest forever,
United with history in the journal of her life.
O, Aruna Asaf Ali, I salute you
For your tireless wanderings
Through the maze of revolution,
But never faltering even though
Your comrades locked you out at journey’s end.
July 31, 1996 Som Benegal
