Który z Aniołów unosił Twoją piękną duszę
hen tam wysoko skąd przyszło
natchnienie na przemianę Świata?
Kto przemówił przez Ciebie w imię buntu
wobec odwiecznej niesprawiedliwości
wobec przemocy i straszliwych wojen!
W imię bez-kastowości pod każdym
równoleżnikiem
Kto nie zasłonił Cię tarczą w chwili złej?
Tyle pytań! I wszystkie bez odpowiedzi!
Czyżby jeszcze nie czas na Odrodzenie człowieka?
Czyżby nie czas na Miłość powszednią jak chleb
z dobrego pola?
Daj znać
gdy raz jeszcze będzie wschodziła Twoja Gwiazda

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi called Mahatma - meaning a great soul” in Sanskrit

(Translated by: Anna Maria Sprzęczka-Stępień)

Which of the Angels carried away your beautiful soul
far far away high up from where
the afflation to alter the World did come?
Who spoke through you in the name of the rebel
against injustice immemorial
against violence and atrocious wars!
In the name of no caste divisions at each
circle of latitude
Who did not shield you in a moment bad?
So many questions! And all without answers!
Is it not yet time for the Rebirth of man?
Is it not yet time for daily Love like bread         
from fertile soil?
Let me know
when Your Star begins to rise once more
