We humbly pray thee,
O the adept architect of Modern
Odisha;
O beloved Bijuji,
O Odisha’s daring Sardar Patelji!
We are immensely owed to thee,
O the visionary JRD of Modern
Odisha!
Who else could be, as you, so much
worthy?
Who else could make Odisha so much
healthy?
We profoundly love thee,
O the golden gleam of Modern
Odisha!
Who else was so blessed with such a silver
spoon in his mouth,
Who else was indeed the need of the hour from the
North to the South?
We solemnly pray to thee,
O the retainer of a rare and proud
dual Citizenship;
Who can pay back your
immeasurable and invaluable dues?
Who else could adorn the Captions
better for Odisha News?
We sorely miss thee,
O our Odisha’s darling Bapuji!
Who else can fill up your richest
void and saddest vacuum?
Who else can own your able
dexterity and enviable equilibrium?
We optimistically beckon to thee,
O the Pride of Mother Odisha!
Please pass your legacy to the deserving million successors,
Who can die for Her; who can
retrieve Her missing Pearls.
We heartily beseech thee,
O the real scion of Modern Odisha!
Please have a kind glance at your
impoverished Mother,
How she bewails; who else can
clear and remove Her overcast weather?
We lovingly embrace thee,
O the Lion of Modern Odisha;
Who can roar like thee for the greater interest of the deprived Odia,
Who else from Odisha’s politics
can better glorify today Wikipedia?
We earnestly request thee,
O the noble Soul of Modern Odisha!
Please make a benevolent and much
solicited return,
To give Odisha in the real sense a fitter identity
of a State Number One!

DeleteProf.Shankar D Mishraji,Your poem titled 'O Bijuji Please Make A Kind Come Back' is truely a poem of magnificent nature.The poem is undoubtedly a great tribute to Late Biju Pattanayak,former Chief Minister of Odisha on his 20th Death anniversary.You have also recalled the great personality Sardar Vallabhai Patel,J.R.D.Tata,M.K.Gandhi who did their best for the greater cause of Orissa.And because of their selfless contributions the state of Odisha has developed in many field and occupied special place in the country. Biju Pattanayak the veteran leader of his time is man of dynamic personality and regarded as the modeem architect of Odisha.Today in his absence Odisha is facing immense problems in many field which needs to be solved on urgent basis considering the better future of the today's younger generation.Amongst the today's leader there is no much innermost urge and potentiality to do the same with philanthropic spirit.So,your heart yearns for that he should come back again to save and rebuild the Odisha.Hence ,the state of Odisha can be the most developed state of India.It's needless to say that Biju Pattnaik was a legendary personality and was honoured with duel citizenship by the Indonesian government.He is a household name in the state of Odisha and still remembered with reverence by the people of the Odisha.Kudos to you for composing such an wonderful poem paying tribute to him as well as other.
